Love this ink!

I will be buying more from the Sailor Shikiori line! My Pilot Vanishing Point and Pilot E95s, both in extra fine nibs write incredibly smoother in comparison to other inks I've tried. My Twsbi Eco 1.1 Stub writes as smooth as butter with this ink, not to mention the color is just beautiful! It's a win in my book!

Subtle and sophisticated

This was a great pick up. I love that it's dark enough to use in the office, but has just a hint of tint to let others know it's not a simple black. Great way to show some flair without making it super obvious.

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING AND DREAMY

I've fallen in love with Sailor Shikiori Inks. The color is a muted plum with shading. It glides onto the paper with ease. I especially enjoy looking at the varieties of color within the swatch. Smooth and silky. Ethan was so helpful!

Beautiful ink!

Beautiful, subtle, and great performance! Flows smoothly and reliably in every pen I've tried it in. There's a definite purple undertone, which I love, but in most instances it appears mostly grey on the page. It's dark enough to always be perfectly legible, and writing stands out easily on the page, but it's not so dark as to ever be mistaken for black. There's a moderate amount subtle shading, depending on the nib. I have not observed any sheen. It dries pretty quickly and I've not experienced any accidental smearing. Chushu has become one of my absolute favourite inks!

Love this ink!

A beautiful dark gray/purple. I bought the bottle after loving the ink sample. The flow and color of this ink from a Sailor stub nib is perfect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which pens can accept this ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Any of these fountain pens will work with bottled ink. Typically, as long as the pen can be filled with a converter, has a built-in filling mechanism like a piston, or can be eyedropper-filled, it can accept bottled ink. You can also refill an empty ink cartridge from bottled ink using an ink syringe.
