Named for the wild grapes that color Japanese hillsides each autumn, Pilot Iroshizuku Yama-Budo brings a vivid wine-purple to the page with refined balance and clarity. This saturated hue offers lively character without overwhelming text, making it an expressive choice for journaling, notes, and personal correspondence.
Color & Performance
Yama-Budo lays down a rich purple with magenta undertones that shows pleasing shading across a range of nib widths. On high-quality papers, it can produce a subtle sheen where ink pools more heavily. The formulation is designed for reliable flow and easy cleanup, supporting consistent starts and smooth, controlled lines.
Bottle & Design
The 50ml Iroshizuku glass bottle is as practical as it is elegant. A built-in filling-assist dimple helps you draw the last drops when the level runs low, while the wide, stable base and generous opening make refilling straightforward. It is a thoughtful, desk-worthy presentation that complements the ink’s refined character.

It flows well and drys fast. One of my new favorites!
This is one of my top five inks because it's so beautiful on the page. It works very well on my Midori paper especially. Not only that, the packaging is stunning. When it arrived I didn't open the box right away because I wanted to appreciate it for a moment. And when I finally did open the box, I squealed in delight because the bottle is just perfect. Iroshizuku knows how to make and present inks. Five stars.
Pilot Iroshizuku Ink Bottle - Yama-Budo
I discovered this ink through the monthly pen subscription box, with the ink samples, and it was just so gorgeous I had to get a bottle.
Hands down my favorite ink, so beautiful to write with
