Write with the royal elegance of ancient Japan. The Pilot Iroshizuku Cartridge in Murasaki-shikibu is a tribute to the delicate purple fruit of the Japanese Beautyberry and the legendary author of The Tale of Genji. Unlike harsh, neon purples, this ink is a sophisticated, mid-tone violet that strikes a perfect balance between brightness and soft, grey-leaning shadows. It offers a classic "grape" hue that is both legible for long-form writing and distinctive enough for personal correspondence.
Formulated with Pilot’s world-renowned water-based dye technology, Murasaki-shikibu is celebrated for its consistent flow and gentle lubrication, ensuring your fountain pen performs at its peak without clogging. These proprietary cartridges are specifically designed for Pilot and Namiki fountain pens (including the Kakuno, Metropolitan, Capless/Vanishing Point, and Custom series), offering the luxury of Iroshizuku ink in a mess-free, travel-ready format. Each of the 6 cartridges is clearly imprinted with the color name, allowing you to swap your "Japanese Beautyberry" ink effortlessly. Whether you are journaling or drafting a formal note, this ink adds a touch of poetic, imperial grace to every line.
This versatile refill is compatible with a wide range of Pilot's fountain pens and desk pens, but not compatible with Custom 823 or Custom Heritage 92.
