Iroshizuku Bottled Fountain Pen Ink, Take-Sumi, Bamboo Charcoal, Black (69224)

The ink writes beautifully s mooth flow, rich colour and clean drying. It feels refined, behaves well on most papers and makes everyday writing surprisingly enjoyable. A lovely choice for any fountain pen user.

As they say about Pilot, smooth as silk, oh it really is. The Flow is just, superb. The darkness isn’t as bad as I was scared, it’s pretty normal black to honest. Values for money? Oh yeah it is. The pot itself is worth it man…

Always the best.

One of the most defining inks, the black is lush and crisp. This is my third purchase and one of the Main inks I use,

I am using this ink for quite sometime now . Because of the computer and the Net , the use of Fountain pen has gone much behind the earlier norm . Therefore , this one bottle is likely to serve me for a couple of years . For this reason , I keep this bottle in my Fridge .

I have uploaded two pics, both writen with same ink. I teach handwriting pbh, for that as I always aims for better ink , better pen. So, in that regard I came across and found this it sounds costly want to try costly and Want to have the feeling of best text with this ink result is before you.

The ink is absolutely wonderful. I was a bit worried about buying the Take-Sum (Black) edition as it literally translates into 'Bamboo Charcoal' and was concerned the color would be reminiscent of grey-black rather than dark-black. Luckily, the color turned out to be a very somber and deep black which is seemingly perfect. If I could afford to stock up, this would be the only ink that I ever use; alas, I have to reserve its use for only the most solemn occasions so I can stretch out its usage time. Love the ink.

The BEST !! Try it

The Pilot Iroshizuku line is everything a fountain pen enthusiast could ask for. The ink flows like silk — smooth, consistent, and perfectly balanced between wet and dry. It performs beautifully on both premium and standard paper, with no feathering or bleed-through when used with a good pen. What really sets it apart, though, is the color quality. Each shade has incredible depth and nuance — whether it’s Kon-peki’s vibrant blue or Yama-budo’s rich wine tone, they all have a subtle shading that makes your writing come alive. The bottle design is stunning, too — thick glass, elegant shape, and easy to fill from. Yes, it’s a little pricey compared to standard inks, but the craftsmanship and performance justify it completely. Pilot Iroshizuku proves that ink can be more than just functional — it can be a work of art in itself.

La tinta se ve hermosa, tiene una densidad adecuada para la escritura y se ve que está diseñada para una escritura en papel con un gramaje pequeño sin problema pero en uno grueso puede desmeplarse mejor

Just opened the bottle and happy to see that bottle is intact and cap not broken. Yet to use the ink and see the colour if I will like it as it is my first time using this colour.😃

I have used black from various other companies, like Mont Blanc, Parker etc but this is my favourite. Lovely, black and as with all Iroshizuku inks, it flows very well...

Muy buena tinta, un tono negro suficientemente saturado.
