Pilot Iroshizuku Chiku-rin - Ink Sample

cant go wrong

Cheerful, vibrant green

This is a really pretty, vibrant, fresh spring green. To me, it looks darker than the swatch in this listing, but that actually makes it more readable than I was worried it would be. The shading is very noticeable, but not so much that the lightest parts are hard to read against the paper when compared to the darkest parts. I'm not sure this is something I'd use for longer-form writing because of its brightness, but I can absolutely see myself using it for things like commenting on/grading papers. I'm new enough to fountain pens and ink that I don't feel confident actually rating this on the flow/shading/etc. scales, but it did dry pretty quickly as far as I could tell, and it did not bleed through Leuchtturm 1917 paper at all. Hopefully the attached photo will be useful for more experienced folks than I.

Pilot Isoshizuka is one of my favorite inks. It comes out a touch duller than that image, but it's still a beautiful late summer green. Love it.
