Product description

Elevate your writing experience with the exquisite Sailor Shikiori ("Four Seasons") bottled fountain pen ink, a celebrated creation from the renowned Japanese writing instrument company, Sailor. Shimoyo translates to "Frosty Night" and is a sophisticated, evocative blue-black dye ink. It captures the serene, deep tones of a winter evening when the first frost has settled, creating a dark, hazy, and tranquil hue. 

Depending on your pen's nib and the paper, the color can appear as a rich, near-black navy in finer lines, or reveal subtle, complex undertones of slate gray and cool blue in broader strokes. Some writers even observe a slight reddish-magenta sheen around the edges on certain papers, hinting at hidden depth beneath its business-ready appearance.
