Boxed set of 3 Sailor Shikiori Chushu fountain pen ink cartridges. Chushu, or Mid-Autumn Grey, is a very dark grey with just a hint of purple.

These proprietary cartridges fit all Sailor cartridge/converter fountain pens (except the Chalana). Each cartridge is labeled with the name of the ink, and a directional arrow indicating how to insert the cartridge into your pen.

The three cartridges comes in a portable white carrying case.

I love the purple grey color of this ink

Beautiful ink

I ordered Sailor Shikiori cartridges along with about 10 grey and purple ink samples for a sailor with a .7 stub. This is a smooth flowing purple-tinged grey that isn't too light or dark or too dry, which are issues I had with some of the other gray inks. Along with J. Herbin's Amythyst de 'Oural, this ink was the stand out of all the samples. Like the Herbin inks, it doesn't stain at all, is easy to clean, looks beautiful flowing onto paper from broad nibs. I ordered a bottle--the price of this ink is the one count against its being a daily use ink.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I install an ink cartridge? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

A cartridge is small, disposable, sealed plastic reservoir that holds fountain pen ink. These come pre-filled with ink, and typically you just push to insert them into place and you'll be ready to write!

It's pretty easy, but it may be best to explain in video format. You can learn more about how to actually install an ink cartridge on our blog, or in this video tutorial:

What fountain pens are compatible with these ink cartridges? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

There are two main groups of ink cartridges: standard international (available in short and long sizes), and proprietary (which only fit that particular brand).

You can read which cartridges fit a given fountain pen in that pen's product description or Tech Specs. You can also check out our Cartridge/Converter guide for general brand guidance if you’re unsure.
