on salePilot Iroshizuku Kiri-same - Ink Sample

This ink is one of my favorite inks now. The color and the beautiful shading provided makes a full page of it look like you're staring at raindrops on a window pane. I love it in a stub nib. It inspires me to copy down my favorite bits of poetry or book passages.

unfortunately, its not my taste.but i think i'll use it sometimes!

I'm not a big fan of the consistency of this ink or how it feels to draw with. It seems thin and watery, and the flow is inconsistent, sometimes dry and scratchy, and sometimes watery and dark, almost black. It's not just shading, it's something wrong with the ink. It makes the paper soggy in spots, and it becomes difficult to cross hatch since it will bleed into itself. I'm not a fan and I'm glad I tried the sample first. The color is nice but this is not fun to use. I got another Pilot Iroshizuku ink to try as well in Tama-gachi and that color has none of the issues this one does.

Beautiful light grey, dark enough to read and light enough to be soothing. Dries quickly, resists water drops.

Thanks so much for providing ink samples. Pilot irishzuku autumn shoeer pleased my daughter in law. It is beautiful.
