Iroshizuku Tsuki-yo Ink
Pilot called me today to say the Iroshizuku inks arrived. They imported only one for each of the 14 colors, so I had to go as soon as possible to secure my bottle. I got the tsuki-yo which is a blue black ink with greenish hues.
I believe the bottle is hand blown. The surface is not perfectly smooth, and there are bubbles inside the glass. I like the bubbles. The label is also textured, as you can see in the picture below.
I am a fan of Japanese products. People from the country put a lot of attention in their products and package design. Even for engineering of precision instruments like wristwatches, I would trust Japanese craftsmanship as much as I do with Germany or Swiss ones, with the exception of Japanese cars.
I have yet to try the ink. Would post some samples later.
