Pilot Iroshizuku, explained

Iroshizuku means “colour droplet” in Japanese, and it’s the name of Pilot’s premium fountain pen ink line. Each ink carries a poetic Japanese name drawn from nature and culture. Pilot has been making writing instruments in Japan since 1918, and Iroshizuku is widely loved for its rich, carefully crafted colours.

The 15ml size

The small bottle is great if you use red occasionally, want to sample the colour, or like keeping lots of different inks without taking up much space.

Care and use

Syun Gyo is not a fast-drying ink and is not water resistant, and it has no shimmer. Give your writing a few seconds to dry, and clean your pen with water when switching colours.
