Other shimer-less gold colored inks I enjoy are Platinum Citrus Black and Noodler's Harold's Hearse. The Platinum stuff is an iron gall ink that goes down light but darkens to a nice shade.
Oooh, Momiji is much more a pink-red than a magenta pink and thus something much more my taste. I like the two blues in this video too - I'm not one for teal normally but the saturation on Ku-Jaku is very appealing. Lastly, Kiri-Same is warmer than the other Iroshizuku grey, Fuyu-Syogun, which I have. Fuyu-Syogun has some nice shading imo, though it does like to feather on cheaper papers.
Thanks again for a wonderful ink comparison video! I have the momiji and the ku-jaku and love them both! The ku-jaku is really, really pretty with a broad nib. I have to get a bottle of Ina-Ho now, what a great color!
These Iroshizuku reviews are really great. Thanks. I don't really seek sheen as it is not so common from a nib. What really want to see is shading. That's just my take.
I love your ink review video, especially it's on one of my favorite ink series - Pilot Iroshizuku. How many episodes you're planning to make on that? I'm so exiting of them! And~ thanks for your video!
It really depends on how much ink I can get from the brand, currently I've gone through most of my Pilot Iroshizuku bottles but there are a few more coming.
My question is: which shade of iroshizuku blue is closer (minus the sheen) to the standard Pilot blue ink (30 ml bottle / cartridge)? Is it between asa-gao and kon-peki?
@@PenultimateDave Thank you. Well I have pilot blue, but cannot afford (and don't need) iroshizuku! It appears to me between asa gao and kon peki. (But i am interested in and use fountain pens). Colours reproduced on displays can be inaccurate, so I can't say for sure. I checked the Pilot 2020 Japanese web catalogue too.
To get every Iroshizuku ink (in the UK) it would cost about £720! Ludicrously overpriced at least in my opinion, from my samples they perform just as well as my £2.25 per-bottle Diamine inks and all have fairly common colours and properties too. Are we only paying for a near perfect bottle and a nice Japanese name?
I have to say I do like a lot of the Iroshizuku inks but agree they are expensive. I won't buy any other brand that's a similar price to Iroshizuku because it is just way too expensive for ink.
Kujaku looks lovely with shading and sheening
Ina-Ho is one of my favourite inks. A bit of hay and autumn! Lovely colour!

Same for me on Ku-Jaku! Don't like teals but that one is nice.
Ina-Ho's my favourite out of these I think. Very cool shading in the shift from super wet to dry
Thank you for making these ink comparisons. They have been exceptionally helpful. Please keep them coming.
Thank goodness for those 3x15ml packs they do. I'm in the Pilot ink camp more than the Sailor camp.
Oh, beautiful inks! Especially Momiji and Ku-Jaku. ❤
Momiji is a favourite of mine.
Just stumbled upon this video and very much enjoyed it. Thanks for the great ink comparison! Now I’m off to explore your other videos… :)

I’m not generally a fan of blue inks, but that tsuki-yo speaks to me.
I love 100th year anniversary edition ink as well. when you have a chance, can you do the review video?
I don't have the ink yet but if I can get it, I'll do a review.
I love jurojin, wish it were permanent.
I do like the Ku-Jaku. I'm not much for blue bordering on teal but that is nice.
These Iroshizuku reviews are really great. Thanks.

Thanks for the review. Interesting to note that kiri-same could replace MB Oyster Grey as it has been discontinued.

How Momiji compares to Yamabudo???
Momiji is a red, Yama-budo is more of a dark pink.
Only one I have is the kiri-same. Bit light in a fine nib.
Thank you for sharing.
I love love Ina-Ho! Thank you for this video!

Can't tell you as I don't have Pilot blue.

What kind of nib you have on that pen? Thanks a bunch for these videos!
Bock Titanium #8 nib
@@PenultimateDave your pen looks like mine, in shape- made by William Shakour? A Titan dip pen?
Just looked back on your previous videos and answered my own question. I’ll give you a tag on my custom colored Titan pens on IG.

Is it waterproof?
No.
Has anybody tried these inks in a Pentel nylon-brush style pen?
Love this comparison but wow, listening to you pronounce the Japanese is killing me. 😂
Ina-ho monster shade! Momiji nonster shine!
Itsa me! Momeeji~
nah, it'z a me emoji.
