Pilot Iroshizuku Bottled Fountain Pen Ink, Yama-Guri, Wild Chestnut, Dark Brown (69219)

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. 🤗

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

Have used this ink for over a month now . Does not dry up and ensures a smooth flow. Colour selection had a wide range . Would leave that to an individual and his patience for selecting the same. What is reflected outside matches .The choice of surface on which you write makes a difference. Haven’t seen it smudging ( again your pen should manage that )Recommend the genuine product

I filled this ink in my grey coloured TWSBI Eco. It has an amazing flow, needless to say. I was bored after using blue and black and love this colour for its uniqueness.

Finest quality ink there ever was and ever will be. Absolutely amazing.

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!

The color is beautiful and the ink flows smoothly.

Use this for taking notes in books with fine nib! Good for this use!

La tinta llegó en perfecto estado, estaba muy empacada para no sufrir ningún tipo de accidente en el envío. Adicionalmente la calidad de las tintas de pilot, especialmente de la línea Iroshizuku es excepcional. Un color increíble y una tinta muy agradable de utilizar.

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.

Precioso color y fuidez, me encanta esta tinta un azul muy usable para diaro, un tintero muy bonito y si la calidad de la que todo el mundo habla es cierta un acierto autentico este tintero de tinta, muy contento....

This is the first Iroshizuku ink I’ve used and wow, the hype is real. The blue (I generally prefer black) is so deep and beautiful, and it pours wonderfully onto the page. I know it’s just ink but if you are into the fountain pen thing then I’d recommend this or as a gift.The other nice thing is the bottle, it’s a lovely shape and feels like an occasion when filling your pen.
