Pilot Iroshizuku Murasaki-Shikibu captures a refined violet inspired by Japan's literary heritage, named for the Heian-period author of The Tale of Genji. The hue is elegant and versatile, offering nuanced shading that brings handwritten notes, journals, and correspondence to life without overpowering the page.
Color & Character
This is a balanced purple with gentle depth and noticeable shading on quality paper. It reads clearly in everyday use while revealing subtle tonal shifts that reward slower, longer writing sessions.
Bottle & Design
The 50ml glass bottle is desk-worthy and purposeful, featuring a concave reservoir at the base that pools the last drops for easier filling. Clean labeling and a wide, stable footprint make it practical to use and display.
Writing Experience
Well-behaved in most fountain pens, Murasaki-Shikibu offers smooth flow and consistent performance across a range of nibs. As a water-based, dye-based ink, it cleans easily and pairs best with fountain pen-friendly paper to showcase its shading.

Love this beautiful color in my new Leonardo. Writes beautifully- no scratching, no splotching, just beautiful color.
Pilot Iroshizuku Murasaki-Shikibu Purple 50ml Ink Bottle
Though I purchased this as a gift and have NOT opened it, I do have a bottle of my own and can tell you that it is an amazing must-have for ink lovers, especially if you like purple. It is a deep, rich purple that flows like a dream. My daughter has become interested in using fountain pens, and I want her to have the perfect first experience, so I got her this ink along with a purple TWSBI Eco. I hope to be with her when she fills her pen for the first time and experiences writing with this ink. I’m quite certain she’ll be as awed as I am. HIGHLY recommended !
Fast delivery!!! Ordered and received!!! Great product! Thanks!
Beautiful product....well packaged.
