The iroshizuku inks offer a wide range of colours. The collection of these high-quality inks includes a total of 24 fascinating colour shades that reflect the beautiful landscape of Japan and thus also the origins of the Pilot brand. The ink owes its special name to a combination of two Japanese words: Iro means colour and symbolises the high standard and variety of colours of iroshizuku inks. The iroshizuku ink is water-based and therefore has a low odour. This aspect is emphasised by the second part of the name, as shizuku means droplet in German. The name iroshizuku therefore figuratively stands for drops of colour.
