View fullsize Benzaiten is one of Pilot’s 100th anniversary inks. It’s a soft pink colour that shades beautifully going from a pastel pink to something stronger and vibrant. Among all the 100th Anniversary colours, I like the yellow (Pilot Iroshizuku 100th Anniversary Daikokuten) which I’ve reviewed previously and this one. Both are unique colours to…

View fullsize This is one of the Pilot Iroshizuku ink made specially for Pilot’s 100th anniversary. Daikokuten is a bright yellow ink that shades nicely from a sunshine yellow to a yellow-orange colour when it pools. I really enjoy how bright and happy this colour is. It is surprisingly visible against bright white paper. Sadly…
My thanks to Sunny of Straits Pen for the ink sample. Pilot Iroshizuku Ajisai is a purple – blue ink. Like other Pilot Iroshizuku inks, it is well behaved. It shades well. In terms of colour, there are quite a few inks that matches it. Personally, this isn’t my favourite blend of purple and blue.…
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…
View fullsize I got my mother to get me a bottle of Pilot Iroshizuku Chiku Rin when she visited Japan last year. I am finally getting around to reviewing this ink. This is a blend of yellow and green. It leans towards the yellow end of the spectrum. It can look very light and difficult…
Pilot Iroshizuku Kosumosu is the pink ink of the series. This is very much a pink ink. It doesn’t have too much red in it to push it into salmon or coral’s territory. It shades from a pastel pink to a hot bright pink. The shading is very nice and the ink stands out from…
Pilot Iroshizuku Yama Guri is a dark almost chocolate like brown ink of the Pilot Iroshizuku series. The earthy tones are muted and not as red as Pilot Iroshizuku Tsukushi. I found I prefer this over Tsukushi. My favourite thing about Yama Guri is it isn’t so dark that the underlying colour of the ink…
My thanks to Sunny of Straits Pen for the sample of this ink. This is the purple offering of the Pilot Iroshizuku ink series. It’s a nice purple ink but I don’t find it particularly outstanding in terms of colour or shading. Colour-wise I thought it looked rather run of the mill but that’s just…
View fullsize I got this bottle of ink when my mother visited Japan last year. Finally I am getting around to reviewing it. This is the dark green of the Pilot Iroshizuku ink line up. There is also a light green called Chiku Rin in their line up. That review is for another day. Shin…
