Pilot Iroshizuku Ink Bottle – Yama-Budo (Red)
The name “iroshizuku” is a combination of the Japanese words “iro” (colouring) expressing high standards and variation of colours, and “shizuku” (droplet), which 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. Enjoy Japan’s rich and subtle colour aesthetic as you write.
PILOT has always manufactured its own inks, which are renowned throughout the world.

Gorgeous colour, It’s not red but more towards magenta. Very smooth.

Before this experience, I did not think that any particular ink could really be something to write home about (so to speak). But this is something else. The colour is rich, deep, slightly sheeny, and is a colour I really enjoy writing with. It’s not red to my eyes, more of a rich purply red. I’ve been opening my notebook just to find an excuse to see the ink in action. I’m writing with a Pilot metropolitan, medium nib, and I think a broader nib would show off the ink to even greater effect. I’d definitely like to try one of the other colours in this range.

An absolute dream to write with in any pen. My go-to ink for flexible nibs.

Great ink. This is my go-to ink in my Pilot Falcon FP. Despite the Falcon FP being a fine, fairly dry nib, with this ink there’s never a skip. Very impressive. The color is quite hard describe. It’s probably not really suitable for formal correspondence, but as an ink for note taking or journaling, it’s really hard to beat.

Thank goodness we don’t always to write with blue or black inks.
This is my all-time favourite ink! It is such a happy colour and writes really smoothly.
