Description
Every ink collection needs a great black, and Pilot Iroshizuku Take Sumi is a lovely one. Take-sumi means bamboo charcoal in Japanese, and the name suits this deep black fountain pen ink perfectly. It comes in a compact 15ml glass bottle.
Why black ink?
Black is the most versatile ink colour there is. It's crisp and formal for work, signatures and official notes, and it gives sketches and line drawings strong contrast. If you only own one bottle, a black like Take Sumi is a sensible choice.
A premium Japanese ink
Take Sumi is part of Pilot's Iroshizuku collection, the brand's premium ink range from Japan. Each Iroshizuku colour has a name drawn from nature, and the range is highly regarded by fountain pen users worldwide.
Using Take Sumi
- Dip your pen's nib or converter into the bottle and fill as usual.
- Wipe the nib and section with a tissue.
- Write, and allow a moment for the ink to dry.
- Close the bottle tightly after use.
Specifications to keep in mind
Take Sumi is not a fast-drying ink and is not water resistant. It contains no shimmer.
Great for
Everyday writing, sketching, journaling and anyone who wants a dependable black ink from a respected Japanese brand.
