Pilot Iroshizuku Ink is a luxurious range of ink inspired by the natural world of the islands of Japan. 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 is derived from a particular aspect of the Japanese natural world, including shrubs, natural phenomena and landscapes, all of which contribute to the depth of each individual hue. Japan's rich and subtle colour aesthetic is now available for all fountain pen users. The Pilot Pen company has always manufactured its own inks, which are renowned throughout the world. Suitable for any fountain pen. Each 50ml heavyweight glass bottle is presented in a smart silver gift box. The graceful oval bottle has a cord tied around the neck and bears a simple, elegant label in the hue of the ink. There's a V-shaped depression in the base of the bottle so that the last few drops of ink can be easily accessed.
