Shin-Kai
The name Iroshizuku is a combination of the Japanese words Iro (Coloring), expressing high standards and variation of colors, and Shizuku (Droplet), that embodies the very image of dripping water. Each ink name derives from the expressions of beautiful Japanese natural landscapes and plants, all of which contribute to the depth of each individual hue.
Shin-Kai Deep Sea (Blue Black)
This blue evokes the deep ocean its primeval life source untouched by the rays of the sun.

Like all Iroshizuku inks, this flows beautifully and evokes a sense of the deep sea or a dark night. It makes any pen write more smoothly, and has an elegance about it which makes using the ink a rich experience. It’s an ink that suits certain moods, so I don’t use it every day.

A sublime colour. A non-pigment, non-iron-gall ink which behaves as well as those two. This is wonderfully behaved premium ink from Pilot which is said to make all pens write well. My Lamy M appreciates this ink on the cheaper notebooks with no feathering or bleedthrough.
