Pilot Iroshizuku Fuyu-Gaki / Winter Persimmon Ink Bottle 50ml

The Iroshizuku ink line is a premium offering from the renowned Japanese writing instrument manufacturer, Pilot Corporation. While Iroshizuku itself is a relatively newer sub-brand, its heritage is deeply rooted in Pilot's century-long history of innovation and craftsmanship.

The Iroshizuku ink series was launched in December 2007. The name "Iroshizuku" is a blend of two Japanese words: "Iro" (色彩), meaning "coloring" or "high standards and variation of colors," and "Shizuku" (雫), meaning "droplet" or "dew."

Each color in the Iroshizuku collection is named after a specific natural phenomenon, plant, or landscape in Japan. This isn't just a naming convention; it's a deep inspiration for the hue itself.

This connection to nature gives each ink a unique character and often a beautiful depth not found in standard ink colors.

The bottles are made of heavy, clear glass, giving them a substantial and luxurious feel. Their classic, refined shape is timeless, designed to look beautiful on any desk or display shelf.

• Wide Mouth: The opening of the bottle is wide enough to accommodate most fountain pen nibs, even larger ones, making the filling process easy and mess-free.
• Unique Recess at the Bottom: This is perhaps the most distinctive and beloved feature. The bottom of the bottle has a small, conical recess in the center. As the ink level gets low, you can tilt the bottle to gather the remaining ink into this recess, making it much easier to fill your pen, even when the ink is nearly depleted. This thoughtful design minimizes wasted ink and frustration.
