Review: Pilot Iroshizuku Tsuyu Kusa
My personal complain of Pilot Iroshizuku ink series is there are too many blues in the series. Tsuyu Kusa is one of these blues. Personally, I’m not a fan of blue inks in general. Tsuyu Kusa as a blue ink isn’t very outstanding. It’s not a light blue ink like Ama Iro or vibrant like Kon Peki. It’s not a royal blue like Asa Gao or dark like Shin Kai. I found Tsuyu Kusa rather boring but that’s just me. It shades slightly from a matte blue-grey colour to a darker royal blue. My thanks to Sunny of Straits Pen for giving me the sample.

Tsuyu-kusa definitely would not excite me as a writing ink, but I fill a waterbrush with it and use it to paint the sky! Much faster than getting out my watercolors when all I want is a quick swish to show that it was a clear day. 😉
