#Iroshizuku murasaki shikibu plus

Then again I might be biased because I think it’s like the most perfect color ever. And it didn’t do the weird disappearing act when highlighted that I saw with the Pelikan ink, so that’s a plus. Like pretty much every other Iroshizuku ink I’ve tried, this one behaves wonderfully and gave me no troubles with feathering or bleeding, even on the Field Notes paper.

It was also surprisingly water resistant, which is a plus for me since I don’t like to make an ink a “daily user” unless it has at least a bit of water resistance, and I was going to be really sad if this had to be a special occasion only ink. I’m a sucker for jewel tones, and this hits that mark right on. Seriously, I can’t get over how much I love this color. Remember how unimpressed I was with the Pelikan Violet because it had too much red in it? This is a perfect purple ink for me because it’s much more towards the blue side of things. Unlike the Shin-ryoku that she got me for Christmas last year, I had specified this color as one that I really wanted. This ink was given to me as a birthday gift from my mother. Doesn’t matter how many times I write/type it, I always have to double check the spelling. Seriously, the names of these Iroshizuku inks will be the death of me.
