PILOTfountain pen ink iroshizuku INK-50-KM cosmos

The 26 Pilot Iroshizuku inks are an insane - and yet supremely affordable - luxury that will bring you pleasure every time you use them.For me, the use of a fountain is a profoundly irrational and highly pleasing act. Except for very specific strokes in calligraphy, modern ball point pens and rollerballs provide a reliable, mess-free, waterproof writing experience that is perfectly functional and technically superior to a fountain pen.However, the most important parts of life have almost nothing to do with "technical superiority."The goal of writing is "connection" and surely the act itself should be pleasurable. A fountain pen (I prefer the Pilot capless Fermo) gliding over a smooth paper is wonderfully self-indulgent and brings out the most irrational and creative side to you. If you are writing for business, the gray, blue, and black Iroshizuku inks all are suitable conservative and yet beautifully packaged and linked to an amazing tradition of writing in Japan. If you are note taking, idea journaling, or writing for pleasure, there are many inspiring colors in the Iroshizuku ("color drop") line. In combination with an ink syringe, it is only a little effort to change out the colors of ink in one or three pens. This shade - Kosumosu ("Cosmos") is a beautiful, lighter shade of red.

This is a beautiful pink! Highly recommended!

This is absolutely beautiful ink. It arrived quickly and in perfect condition/was packaged carefully.

I have purchased many fine fountain pen inks in the past. But I must admit, I'm partial to the reds/purples. Last year, I purchased the Iroshizuku Kosumosu and was please to find this lovely pink. The ink works really well in all my pens. I find it works better in my Fine nib pens. The medium nib pens seems to flow too well, thus appearing to make the medium into a broad. I don't know why that is.I liked it so well that I purchased their Murasaki-shikibu (a royal purple-deep and lovely) and (gasp) Ama-iro (Sky blue).This is my second bottle of the Kosumou. I use the pink, alot.

I LOVE PINK! I was looking for just the right shade, and this fit the bill perfectly. the packaging and the bottle made me feel I'd bought something elegant for myself. Even my daughters complimented it saying it was so fancy for and just right for me. writes smoothly too!

Colors of this brand's ink are hard to see differences online, and the description could be made more clear and have more pictures as well to show what shades are a bit better/more accurately in the future, BUT packaging is amazing, and ink is great! I'll try to buy nothing but tis brand for my ink pens from now on.Pens Owned by "Moonman" is the 'Moonman C1' and my newer S5 Fountain pen in Transparent Acrylic as well! Great pens, love the NIB size changes on this model!

Lovely color!!! Flows nicely in one of my Chinese fountain pens. The color looks intense when you look at the bottle. But is soft and nice on paper. Love it! Timing is great since the Cherryblosson Festival in San Francisco is starting this weekend in April.

I love to use seasonal colors in my fountain pens, or sometimes counter seasonal like yellow in the dead of winter.Kosumosu is a wonderful and complicated coral, or shrimp pink if you like, just enough orange to give it character. I've loved using it for notes and journaling. It is a color that makes me smile and the shipment was quite fast given how far it had to come.

Pilot ink will never disappoint you on color and how smooth the write is

Rose clair permettant l’écriture. J’ai encré un stylo plume avec cette encre et malgré mes craintes l’écriture est très lisible avec cette couleur.Quant à la qualité ; parfaite comme toujours avec les Iroshizuku de Pilot

So si essere di parte ma a mio parere l’iroshizuku in tutti i suoi colori è il migliore inchiostro in commercio. Ovviamente da destinarsi a penne di un certo valore.

繰り返し購入してる定番商品。普通の赤じゃつまらないので使ってます。水性インクだから耐水性を聞かれるのは？

I wanted to find an ink that wasn't too red or too hot-pinky. This shade is perfect. I use it in my fountain pen and it flows beautifully.
