The Pilot IROSHIZUKU Bottled Ink – Flower Raft is a graceful and poetic ink that captures the fleeting beauty of cherry blossoms as they float gently across the surface of water. Inspired by the Japanese concept of "Hana-ikada" (??), meaning “flower raft,” this delicate pink ink evokes the elegance of spring and the subtle emotions tied to the changing seasons.

This soft, refined shade of pink is both expressive and understated—perfect for those who seek a gentle, artistic tone in their writing. The color offers just enough presence to stand out on the page while maintaining readability, especially on cream or off-white paper. It adds a warm, emotional nuance to letters, journals, poems, and personal notes.

Formulated with the quality and precision expected of a premium ink, Flower Raft delivers smooth, consistent flow with excellent control. It performs well across a range of fountain pen nib sizes, from fine to broad, with minimal feathering and bleed-through on fountain pen-friendly paper. The ink’s moderate saturation allows for soft shading, making each line subtly unique.

The 50 mL glass bottle reflects the same attention to detail as the ink itself. With a wide, stable base and an inner ink-gathering reservoir, the bottle ensures easy refilling even as ink levels decrease. Its minimal yet elegant design adds a touch of sophistication to any writing space.

IROSHIZUKU Flower Raft is more than just an ink—it’s an experience of seasonal beauty captured in color. Whether you're writing a heartfelt note or simply enjoying the rhythm of pen on paper, this gentle pink ink brings a sense of calm and grace to every word.
