Namiki Iroshizuku Fountain Pen Inks are created using the highest standards and variations of color. The name "iroshizuku" is a combination of the Japanese words "iro" meaning coloring, and "shizuku" meaning droplet. It expresses the variations of color embodied in the image of dripping water. Each ink name is derived from the expressions of beautiful Japanese natural landscapes and plants, which all contribute to the depth of each individual hue. Enjoy the rich and subtle colors of Japan with every stroke of your pen. For every creative endeavor, Namiki provides the ultimate writing tools. Review: beautifully crafted ink with exceptional flow and color depth - The Pilot Iroshizuku line is everything a fountain pen enthusiast could ask for. The ink flows like silk — smooth, consistent, and perfectly balanced between wet and dry. It performs beautifully on both premium and standard paper, with no feathering or bleed-through when used with a good pen. What really sets it apart, though, is the color quality. Each shade has incredible depth and nuance — whether it’s Kon-peki’s vibrant blue or Yama-budo’s rich wine tone, they all have a subtle shading that makes your writing come alive. The bottle design is stunning, too — thick glass, elegant shape, and easy to fill from. Yes, it’s a little pricey compared to standard inks, but the craftsmanship and performance justify it completely. Pilot Iroshizuku proves that ink can be more than just functional — it can be a work of art in itself. Review: A good ink and a good value - I have used this ink in a Hongdian Black forest pen for several weeks and love how it looks and flows. It leaves a crisp, clean line that dries quickly. I have read that it is a thin ink and bleeds through the paper. I have not had this problem. I normally write on Navigator 32lb premium paper but have tested this on pages of a $1.29 pen + Gear steno book and have had no bleed though on either. I initially balked at the cost of this bottle of ink until I compared it to the cost of using pre-filled cartridges but quickly changed my mind when I looked at the per milliliter cost. When compared to the amount of ink in Parker Quink cartridges, for example, this ink is about a third of the price. It is worth every penny ## Features - Created using the highest standards and variations of color - Ink names derived from Japanese natural landscapes and plants - Enjoy the intense and subtle colors of Japan as you write - TRUSTED QUALITY: We've been making pens for over 100 years.
