Pilot Iroshizuku Fountain Pen Ink | fuyu-gaki (Winter Persimmon) 15ml

fuyu-gaki is a 15ml bottled fountain pen ink from Pilot's Iroshizuku line — a bright red-orange named for the winter persimmon, the fruit that stays on the branch after every leaf has dropped.

冬柿 is the winter persimmon, and persimmon trees in Japan hold their fruit into the cold, so a bare tree can still be full of orange. The ink matches that. It's a vivid orange with red underneath, and it shades hard — a fine nib reads orange, and a broad nib gives you a lighter center with a red edge where the ink pools. Good for headers, margin notes, and anything you want to find again later.

15ml is a small bottle for a loud color, which feels about right. Come see it.
