Pilot Iroshizuku fuyu syogun 15 ml Fountain Pen Ink
fuyu syogun is a calm, restrained, and distinctly Japanese ink that evokes the stillness of winter. Its cool grey tone is balanced and refined, conveying clarity, discipline, and quiet strength. This makes it an excellent choice for everyday writing, professional notes, or minimalist journaling. The 15 ml format is ideal for discovering the color or including it in a carefully curated ink rotation.
The Iroshizuku series (いろしずく, “drops of color”) is inspired by Japan’s landscapes and seasons. Fuyu syogun (冬将軍), literally “the winter general,” refers to the harsh winter cold advancing with authority. This grey shade captures that atmosphere of silence and rigor, offering a sober and highly versatile writing color.
Concept and Design
Fuyu syogun stands out for its neutral character and adaptability. Depending on the paper and nib, it may display subtle shifts between lighter and deeper grey tones, adding discreet depth and visual interest without overpowering the page.
Performance and Compatibility
Formulated as a water-based dye ink, it is compatible with fountain pens of any brand. It delivers smooth flow, clean line definition, and balanced drying time. The compact 15 ml bottle is practical for travel, limited desk space, or for users who enjoy exploring multiple colors without committing to large volumes.
