Pilot Iroshizuku Syo-ro - Teal-Green Ink

Iroshizuku Syo-ro (Dew on Pine Tree) is a teal blue/green fountain pen ink. It's one of my personal favorites, and looks very blue when it's wet before drying to a beautiful teal green. In many ways it reminds me of Taccia's Sabimidori (rust green) ink, though Iroshizuku Syo-ro doesn't have any of that mezmerizing red shading.

Pilot's Iroshizuku line of fountain pen inks are the gold standard for a reason. They're well-behaved, wet-writing, generally quick-drying (<20 seconds), and come in an assortment of stunning colors. Because of how Iroshizuku inks tend to be, they can often be some of the most reliable inks to give you a great writing experience with dry-writing pens (think Japanese <Fine> and <Extra-Fine> nibs).

The only place I'm careful with them is in vintage sac-filling or celluloid pens: Iroshizuku inks can be quite alkaline, which can harm these sensitive vintage materials. See my guide on vintage-safe fountain pen inks for more information.
