25 April 2024 – Pilot Iroshizuku Fuyu-syogun


Fuyu-syogun, or “old man winter”, is the first of two grey inks in my Iroshizuku collection, and just like tomorrow’s… I like it! If anybody is going to get grey ink right, it’s Pilot. The recent comments I’ve made when exploring grey ink make me somewhat want to try them all (though I’d be loathe to order anything larger than a sample, unlike the 366 bottles represented by this 2024 project).

Fuyu-syogun is Old Man Winter
“What color ink I’m craving pretty much changed every week, and last week was a grey week. It’s still bright and sunny here and sometimes way too hot, so a cool grey is a nice contrast. Pilot Iroshizuku Fuyu-syogun or “Old Man Winter” is that cool grey.” -The Well-Appointed Desk
