Pilot Iroshizuku Tsukushi is a brown ink in the Pilot Iroshizuku series. There is also two other brown inks namely Ina-Ho and Yama Guri. I really didn’t like Ina-Ho in particular. Tsukushi is more reddish-brown which drys into a duller matte brown. This is an excellent colour to use in a corporate environment. Plus it isn’t as boring as plain old black ink. Even though it is a dark colour, it has shading especially visble with the TWSBI 1.1 stub nib. It goes from a matte light brown to a dark brown with red undertones. Though brown inks have never been my thing, this is one ink I can get behind.
