Pilot Iroshizuku Hotaru-bi - 50ml Bottled Ink
50ml glass bottle of Pilot Iroshizuku Hotaru-bi chartreuse green fountain pen ink.
Hotaru-bi (蛍火), translated as Light of Fireflies, is inspired by the soft, light of delicate fireflies. This color is a bright chartreuse green with warm yellow hues.
The name Iroshizuku is a combination of the Japanese words Iro, 色彩 (Coloring), expressing high standards and variation of colors, and Shizuku, 雫 (Droplet), that embodies the very image of dripping water. Each ink name derives from the expressions of beautiful Japanese natural landscapes and plants, all of which contribute to the depth of each individual hue.
These gorgeous Iroshizuku inks have been inspired by beautiful Japanese environments. Each Iroshizuku ink comes in an elegant, handblown 50ml glass bottle with a detailed dip for your fountain pen nib to rest easily in while filling.
