New Iroshizuku Inks

10/14/2012

Rumor has it there are three new Iroshizuku inks coming in November. Will one be perfect for you?

  • take-sumi – charcoal
  • shin-kai – deep sea
  • ama-iro – sky color

Update: DaveyB has found them offered by Engeika already!

  1. There goes the wallet! Sigh….

    I have yet to find a shade in this ink that doesn’t behave brilliantly. Their grays are so responsive that I know I’ll have to try the charcoal.

    I’m not so sure about the blues. I prefer the more brilliant shades like Ku-jaku.

    • Beth, you are so right. This release will make a dent in the budget and just before the holidays, too. Charcoal will fill the need for an all-purpose color so I hope they ship it in sufficient quantity.

      Ku-jaku? It’s been keeping company with my Levenger Kyoto True Writer B that was modified to a stub by Mike Masuyama. The ink color matches the blue bits perfectly. Which pen(s) in your collection has a preference for it?

    • Welcome, Bruno! Which color will you buy first or do you find all three irresistible?

  4. Nice – my next ink purchase coming up. I will have to keep an eye of the Japanese vendor sites as they normally have them first.

    • Other companies should be offering the new colors around that time, too. Hmmm. Just in time for the holidays?

  7. I just obtained a bottle of the Charcoal. Its a delightful ink. Smooth, wet flow with a very universal colour that suits any pen. Glad I bought a bottle.
