Iroshizuku Fountain Pen Ink - 50 ml Bottle - Fuyu-gaki Persimmon (Vermilion Red Orange) (Japan Import)

The Pilot Iroshizuku Fuyu-gaki ink is a really eye-catching color somewhere between a bright orange and a soft red, kind of like a sunset. It writes very smoothly and flows nicely, which makes it enjoyable to use for everyday writing. The color stands out without being too harsh, so it’s great for notes or journaling. As always with Iroshizuku, the bottle feels high quality and looks great on the desk. Definitely a fun and unique ink to have.

This is the orange I've been looking for, perfect flow, not watery, strong and bright orange color. Orange is apparently a hard fountain pen ink to get right, and they have done it!

So, I got ink samples from Goulet Pens and they had a gorgeous deep orange and I knew this would fit the bill when adjusted, because of shopping GP for stationery, fountain pens, rollerball pens, pencils, ink, etc. They actually are very knowledgeable, they ship very quickly, and any problem you have can be resolved. You can REACH them. Crazy. Anyway, the ink itself is a lighter orange on it's own, it handles beautifully, it's a fairly wet ink but I knew that I was going to mix in a little bit of my Higgins Black, which is not as wet an ink as this. It darkened the ink to a GORGEOUS burnt orange, perfect for your fall art and journaling, bujo people hear me, this mix will look really good on your page. It also means it's not quite as wet, which is good in this case as my main journaling pen (Faber-Castell Ambition with modified nib) writes a bit wet anyway. Now you know, color theory is your friend.

Excellent ink and color!

Like all Iroshizuku inks, fuyu-gaki (persimmon orange-red) flows well, and seems to be on the wetter end of the spectrum. However, while the color is quite brilliant, it's not my favorite orange. I think I like "burnt orange" and this is quite definitely a reddish color. It gives a very saturated persimmonny line on fine paper--- a vibrant color on white or ivory stationary--- but as is often true of good saturating inks, it doesn't shade with as much subtlety as some other Iroshizuku colors like Kon-peki blue or the very brilliant Tsutsuji Azalia. This vendor was very good, however, an excellent price for superb, well behaved ink, and I had my order in about I week if I remember correctly. That's excellent for stuff coming out of Japan. You should get it if you like that orange end of the spectrum and sport it about in a stub italic on letters to lovers. Zesty.

Great colour, it really stands out!

Pilot inks are always great. Very nice colors and great quality. It drys fast and looks fantastic on a white paper. Highly recommend Pilot inks.

A great color from one of the best producers of fountain pen ink.

The ink arrived in a padded envelope, and left on the front doorstep in January. Luckily, our security camera notified us there had been a delivery, so I brought it in right away. I was shocked to see it in a small padded envelope, while other things I’ve ordered from Amazon that aren’t breakable arrive in boxes with bubble wrap. The ink’s box was slightly damaged as you can see in the photos, which is a shame, as I always keep ink boxes. If it had been in a box it would have been better protected. The ink itself is very sheer to look at and you wonder how it will look on paper, but I inked up a Cross Townsend Medalist, medium nib, and it behaves well on Rhodia paper (80 g/m2). I don’t see an awful lot of shading, and the colour is more orange than red, though the sample photos of the colour are true to life in the Amazon photos that are shown with the ink on the purchase page. It would be nice to have more shading to this ink in a medium nib, but I’ll try it in a vintage flex and compare. Overall, a pleasing ink, but similar to a Kaweco Sunrise Orange ink I have. If you’re looking for a reddish ink, keep in mind that this is definitely a deep orange, and definitely the colour of persimmons. The bottle is lovely and a great addition to an ink collection.

After trying multiple inks on my MontBlanc, I found this ink to have the smoothest flow and most consistent thickness in line strokes while writing, really love the feel it gives.

la tinta es fluida, muy suave y se siente muy ligera, casi como agua , el color es muy brillante y cómodo de leer

Encre japonais de grande qualité présentée dans un beau flacon de verre. La palette de couleurs proposée est impressionnante. Seul bémol : le bouchon du flacon peut quelquefois s'avérer peu solide et se fissurer.

High quality ink
