Pilot Iroshizuku hana ikada 15 ml Fountain Pen Ink
Hana ikada is a delicate, soft pink ink inspired by one of Japan’s most poetic natural phenomena. Its gentle tone with warm undertones creates a refined and expressive writing experience. The 15 ml format is ideal for discovering the color or rotating inks frequently.
Pilot’s Iroshizuku series celebrates the beauty of Japanese nature. The name combines “iro” (color) and “shizuku” (drop). Hana ikada (花筏), meaning “flower raft,” refers to the moment when cherry blossom petals fall onto rivers and lakes, forming floating clusters that gently cover the water’s surface. This ephemeral scene can be observed in places such as the Meguro River in Tokyo or Hirosaki Park.
Concept and Design
Hana ikada stands out for its soft and evocative character. Depending on paper and nib, it may shift from a light pink to slightly warmer tones. Ideal for journaling, personal writing, or expressive notes.
Performance and Compatibility
This water-based dye ink is compatible with all fountain pens. It offers smooth flow, good lubrication, and balanced drying time. The compact 15 ml bottle is perfect for ink rotation.
Tip for Best Color Perception
To fully appreciate hana ikada’s subtle tones, we recommend high-quality paper such as Midori MD Cotton Pad A5 or Midori MD Cotton Pad A4.
