Pilot Iroshizuku Bottled Fountain Pen Ink, Shin-Kai, Deep Sea, Blue Black (69225)

I must say that this ink is one of the most beautiful brown inks I have inked up in my pens.😍It’s wet with a lovely colour.The ink costed me around Rs1400 and was totally worth the money knowing that this bottle would roughly last me for at least another 2 years.😉👌 I am truly disheartened by Pilot’s decision to remove this ink from their line up. 😖Pros:-The ink comes in a beautiful bottle with lovely string attached to it ( it’s mainly used catch any excess ink that might spill).😑The ink is generally wet and very well behaved and kind of tends to change it’s colour from a light washed brown to a beautiful milky chocolate brown when dried.😁I personally find that this ink works well with the nib widths from a Japanese fine to a Western medium. The broad nibs tend to make the ink almost appear black, if you like to write with broad nibs then this would probably be a lovely work appropriate ink.😉Please note, if you are concerned with the prices of the inks being slashed down then there is nothing to be worried about, Pilot normally used to make these inks in less quantity as they didn’t have the sufficient funds to make them at bulk but recently they started mass producing them which resulted in their prices going down significantly.😌Cons:-I would personally say that I really wished the ink would be a tad bit wetter, although I would say that it’s plenty wet for everyday use.🙂The water resistance is pretty low.🥲I wished that the material of the bottle were plastic, it would probably make the ink even cheaper.😂Overall:-The Iroshizuku Tsukushi passes the test easily with flying colours.🥰It’s wet, without behaving badly on cheap paper, a slight amount feathering might be visible but knowing how wet this ink is I would personally say that it’s very cheap paper friendly.😄The bottle gives it a luxurious feel to ink your pens with and it’s refreshing transition from a washed up brown to a lovely milky chocolate brown is just fantastic.🤩Score:-9.2/10🥳Excellent.P.S. please ignore my shabby penmanship.😅Thank you very much for reading this review and I hope you would probably add this ink to your new purchase. ☺️Bye, stay safe everyone. 🤗

Beautiful ink. Using with a medium nib Kakuno (same nib as the metropolitans) is a heavenly journaling experience. The dried ink retains it's pink-ness, absolutely legible, but not quite a blue-black, of course. Would personally use with a wetter / broader nib ( I have Syo-Ro in my fine nib pen I use for maths, etc)

I won't comment about the cost as it's costly as per indian standards.But for fountain pens encaustic, it's a must buy ink to try.It's really good, wetness and flows are just perfect. I have tried it with Indian pens -> Becomes very very wet, specially with ebonite feeds. With European pens - perfect gold standard. With Japanese and Chinese pens.. It's meant for them.So overall really happy with the ink

Vivid green colour but appears to be a little dry. Quite usable with broad nibs but be careful with using it with fine nibs.Vibrant, and overall, decent value for money.

I had wanted to get this ink for quite some time, but was always bothered by the price. I bit the bullet finally and it didn't disappoint. I will be trying out other colors as well. Pricy, and most certainly a luxury ink, but in my opinion, totally worth it.

Initially I thought it looked watery. But as I used it (TWSBI ECO pen) I loved the very smooth flow and the texture and color of the ink. Thank you!

Loved everything. The packaging, bottle and the ink. Superb.

The pen nib never dries.I am using it for all types of fountain pen. Lamy, Pilot, kwaco. The ink Color is very good.Bought second bottle after one year .Unlike other bottles we can refill even when the ink is less in the bottle without tilting the bottle because of its design 😃.

Calidad en esta muy buena tontera para estilográfica el color es vivo, intenso muy complacido con esta marca de prestigio. Comprada a un rñ excelente precio en Amazon quien entregó en tiempo.

Very well mannered ink with great flow, quick drying, and no tendency to smudge as some highly saturated boutique inks are prone. This moonlight blue has just a hint of teal when dry - very beautiful, but not out of place in a pure business context. Iroshizuki offers desirable subtle shades of color with the well behaved, unfussy standard performance in most pens one has come to expect from Pilot, Pelikan or Waterman inks.I'd characterize this ink as very "wet" free flowing, but doesn't feather excessively on even cheap copy paper or card stock better suited to ball points. I've tried in several pens ranging from Pelikan m800 XF to m1000 F to m800 M. Definately likes Pelikan F best. XF is thin and Spidery, but that's my general complaint with this nib. Medium is typically my daily go to writer, and it's effortlessly smooth, flows beautifully, but is right at the edge of too broad a line to be neat and legible. I'll load a Namiki - Pilot 742 F next, with expectation this nib will be right in the home row for this ink. Only disappointment was a Namiki Falcon soft-Medium, which left a line so broad to nearly be illegible on most any paper stock. That's not unusual with free flowing inks in this pen, but was worth a trial.This ink will replace Waterman Mysterious Blue in my rotation. Both are similarly well behaved, but moonlight is a warmer, more natural and desirable shade with just a bit freeer flow.Fast shipping and service from Amazon's partner supplier. Bravo. Well done.

This is a wonderful ink, and the color is a true chestnut brown which on my paper subtly shades with that slight purple hue that you see when light reflects of chestnuts. I'm using it in my old Osmiroid 65 which I've owned from 1968. The nib is about a .09 mm Italic and it shows off this ink to advantage, giving the writing an antique feel. The flow is excellent, not so wet as to disgorge the ink over the page but just dry enough so that I don't have to blot. The papers I use tend to be relatively "cheap". I just use my fountain pens on any paper I have available. There is no feathering nor ghosting or bleed through in my Amazon Basics Classic Notebook which I'm presently using for my daily journal. As a lifelong fountain pen user, I can say that I've never had a better brown ink.

No solo me gustó, lo amé.Colores inspirados en la naturaleza de Japón. No sé si lleguen a tanto. Pero sí puedo afirmar que tienen una selección de colores muy hermosos y que fluyen con facilidad, yo la uso con una pluma Lamy sin ningún problema. Mis colores hasta ahora Syo-ro, Asa-gao y yama-budo. Vale la pena pagar por esta distinción en tu escritura.

This ink is so beautiful and it is an absolute pleasure to write with it. It is not too bright so still easy to read.Compared to an ink that I have from lamy it makes no mess and the colour changes beautifully.I do recommend this since the ink will last for quite some time so I think that it is absolutely worth it if you're happy to spend this amount on ink.
