Today’s ink is from Wearingeul’s four-ink Korean Female Modern Writer series. The name Human Problem (or Human Issue) comes from novelist and poet Kang, Kyung-Ae’s (강경에) novel of the same name. Written at the height of Korea’s colonial period, her stories explore and promote anti-colonialism and feminist themes.

I love this kind of deep, rich red! Human Problem is a dark scarlet, blood red. There is some dark sheening in areas of pooling, and in writing it comes through as a blackened stroke profile. There is a bit of shading with the right nib and paper pairing, as well. It’s a very attractive ink.

This is also a beautiful writing ink. It pops off the page, with the dark edging making it clear and crisp for the reader. It is somewhat viscous and flows confidently. Drying is nice and quick, which always pleases me! It’s a very comfortable and enjoyable ink in use.

I really like Wearingeul Human Problem. I’m also very impressed with Wearingeul’s efficient, yet, elegant packaging, the substantial, Sailor Manyo-style bottle, and the interesting and important themes that guide their collections. If you haven’t tried Wearingeul, Human Problem is a great introduction!

You can find more information at Wearingeul, or their parent company's site Able Design to see what other stationery-related products they offer. Enjoy!

Please note: Wearingeul sent this and several other inks over for me to try, but that hasn’t colored my judgement in any way. As always, my reviews reflect my honest opinions.
