Color & Visual Characteristics

• Shitoshito is described as a turquoise or blue?green / teal shade in retailer listings. 

• In the Papeterie Makkura listing, the dominant hues are blue + green. 

• It is non?shimmering — no glitter or sparkles are advertised. 

• It also does not promote strong sheen in listings

• It is said to have light shading (some variation in tone) rather than uniform flat color. 

• It is not water resistant (i.e. will smear under water exposure)

Performance & Usage Notes

• The ink in cartridge form is described in product listings as smooth?flowing and safe for fountain pens. 

• Because Shitoshito is a mid-tone (neither extremely dark nor ultra pale), it is more forgiving in terms of legibility with various nib widths.

• The shading behavior means that strokes may vary — thicker or wetter strokes may deepen in tone, while finer strokes remain lighter.

• As with other Shikiori inks, it must be cleaned out when switching colors to avoid cross?contamination.

• Drying times will depend heavily on paper quality, nib wetness, and ink flow — on less absorbent paper it may take longer to fully dry.
