PILOT iroshizuku FOUNTAIN PEN INK

            Shipping Ink will Pause until March 31, 2026

Shipping ink in winter carries a significant risk of the ink freezing, expanding, and breaking its container.

Why Shipping Ink in Winter is Risky:

Ink is a water-based liquid and freezes at or near 32°F (0°C). 

Expansion and Breakage: When the water in the ink freezes, it expands, creating pressure that can crack glass bottles or cartridges. This often leads to an "inky mess" upon arrival.

Separation and Quality Issues: While some frozen inks can be thawed and used, the freezing process can cause the pigments to separate from the binder, potentially affecting the ink's properties or leading to a chunky consistency. Some specialty inks may not reincorporate properly after freezing.

Transit Exposure: Packages often sit in unheated delivery trucks, cargo boxes, or postal facilities for extended periods, especially over weekends or during holiday rushes, making them vulnerable to sustained extreme cold

iroshizuku Fountain Pen Ink

A combination of the Japanese words: ‘iro’ 色 meaning colour and ‘shizuku’ 雫, translating to dew or droplet.
PILOT iroshizuku reflects our mission to distill the unique beauty of the Japanese landscape into every colour droplet found in each bottle of fountain pen ink.

The gorgeous rich shades will fill each fountain pen with bold, beautiful and vivid colours inspired by Japanese natural landscapes.  The water-based in is of high-quality, and is suitable for modern fountain pens

The iconic design of PILOT’s iroshizuku glass bottle

Aesthetically pleasing but also functional:

An innovative dip at the bottom aids the positioning of your pen tip and allows you to enjoy every drop of ink.

A wide opening caters to refilling larger fountain pens.

An elegant string adorns the neck of each bottle, to capture any ink that may have accumulated around the cap or opening.

The Iroshizuku bottles contain 50ml of high quality ink.
