PilotΒ Iroshizuku inksΒ are famous for their quality andΒ spectrum ofΒ colours that are inspired byΒ Japanese natural landscapes and plants, all of which contribute to the depth of each individual hue.Β Iroshizuku comes from the combination of Japanese words ‘iro’ which means colouring, and ‘shizuku’,Β which embodies the image of dripping water.
Take-sumi has been used in Japanese homes since ancient times as a water purifier, to control humidity levels and for its healing properties. The black shade of Take-sumi emulates the deep, rich black of take-sumi, so familiar to the Japanese.
IroshizukuΒ is a dye based ink that comes in an elegant 50mL glass bottle with a wide opening for larger pens and an angled base, making it easier to reach the last few drops.Β

I was skeptical at first, but this ink flows so smoothly and dries quickly. The bottle design is also very elegant. Worth every penny.

The ink is great, but the coupon didn’t work for me. Still, the quality of the ink makes up for it.

I’ve tried many black inks, but this one stands out. The richness and consistency are unmatched. A must-have for fountain pen enthusiasts.

The ink is beautiful, but it’s a bit pricey. If you’re looking for a premium black ink, this is it, but be prepared to pay a premium.

The Bamboo Charcoal ink is perfect for my calligraphy work. The deep black is consistent and doesn’t feather on good paper.

I love the ink, but the bottle is a bit small for the price. The quality is excellent, though, so I can’t complain too much.

This ink is a game-changer. The color is intense, and it works flawlessly in all my pens. The coupon was a nice bonus!

The ink is good, but I expected a bit more shading. It’s a solid black, but not as dynamic as I hoped.
