Review:
Pilot Iroshizuku Take-Sumi  is a dark black ink in Pilot Iroshizuku's line. It comes in a decorative 50 milliliter bottle that will last for months, even with frequent use. The ink itself is quite dark, even when moving back and forth in a demonstrator fountain pen. The pictures in this review show Pilot Iroshizuku Take-Sumi used in a Pilot Custom 74 fountain pen with a fine nib on a Rhodia notebook sheet. 

The ink flows smoothly, dries relatively quickly, and does not have any sheen or particles that could clog a fountain pen. It is relatively easy to clean from the pens, as long as it has not stayed dormant in a pen for months at a time. 

For the aforementioned reasons, Pilot Iroshizuku's Take-Sumi ink is recommended by Lion Stationers. It can be purchased from the following vendors: ​
