Look closely and you will find it is not a flat grey at all. It carries a distinct purple undertone, and in larger applications the colour shifts toward blue - a quiet complexity that rewards attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIroshizuku is Pilot's prestige ink line, its name drawn from two Japanese words: \u003cem\u003eiro\u003c\/em\u003e, meaning colour, and \u003cem\u003eshizuku\u003c\/em\u003e, meaning droplet. Each shade in the collection is drawn from the natural landscapes of Japan, and the care behind that concept shows in the ink itself. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eFuyu-syogun\u003c\/em\u003e dries in approximately 15 seconds on a medium nib and delivers a pleasingly wet flow, making it well suited to pens with broader nibs or absorbent paper where its shading character has room to develop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is an ink with personality. It is pale enough to feel considered and unconventional on the page, with medium shading that adds dimension to longer writing sessions. It works beautifully for correspondence, annotation, or anywhere a cooler, quieter tone is called for - particularly alongside darker inks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach box contains six proprietary Pilot cartridges, each holding 0.90 ml of ink. The cartridge body is printed with the ink's name, so there is no guessing when reaching into a pen case. The packaging itself is designed to echo the aesthetic of the iconic Iroshizuku glass ink bottle, with a sliding inner tray fitted with an internal latch so it cannot be pulled free accidentally. It is the kind of detail that makes this feel like a considered object rather than a consumable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThese cartridges are compatible with all Pilot fountain pens, with the exception of the Pilot Metropolitan in its European configuration and the Pilot Explorer.
