Pilot Iroshizuku - Yu-yake (Sunset Glow)

Pilot Iroshizuku Yu-yake (夕焼け, "Sunset Glow") is a warm, radiant orange ink with a gentle reddish undertone that captures the atmosphere of a sky fading into dusk — bold enough to stand out, soft enough to stay elegant. Shading is pronounced, especially with broader or wetter nibs, moving between lighter and richer orange tones across a single stroke. Flow is smooth and slightly wet with a moderate dry time. Fountain pen safe across all nib sizes.

The Iroshizuku name comes from iro ("color") and shizuku ("droplet"), and each ink is named for a Japanese natural landscape or plant.
