![]() ![]() ![]() It makes me think of cherry blossoms and all things kawaii. It’s a little too bright for me to class it as a pastel pink, but it’s not a full-on, in-your-face pop pink either. In a heavy deposit on TR paper it shows a bit of an orange halo, but this is not apparent in normal writing. My sample book indicates that Hana-ikada is a shade lighter than Akkerman Gourmet Pens Pink, the closest match I have. Light inks do seem to be a bit of a trend lately, and are great for introducing subtle shades to doodles and artwork, but not so useful for normal writing. Having tried both the pink and the chartreuse in my everyday pens I can report that they are both very light colours that really need a broad or stub nib to be legible. I have to admit to being a bit puzzled by them. The new shades are Hana-ikada (a pretty light pink), Hotaru-bi (an unusual chartreuse), and Sui-gyoku, which is teal. The inks are in the smaller 15ml glass bottles with the usual labels - not as eye catching as the bigger bottles that Pilot also does, but a more practical size for those of us who have extensive ink collections! The set of new Pilot Iroshizuku ink colours arrived in an understated but elegant little box with a navy blue cover with silver lettering. (This set of Iroshizuku inks was provided to me free of charge by ( ) for review purposes.)
