{"title":"Fountain Pen Inks","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eA fountain pen used as a drawing tool is a completely different instrument to a fountain pen used for writing. The line varies with pressure, the ink flows differently at different speeds, and the relationship between hand and page becomes more direct than almost any other instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe inks here were chosen because they work with that relationship rather than against it. Pilot Iroshizuku is where most illustrators who use fountain pens for drawing start — the range is deep enough to spend years in, each colour has a Japanese nature name with a story behind it, and the 50ml bottle is one of the most beautiful objects in illustration. Diamine is made in Liverpool and has been since 1864. Their Forever Series is pigment-based and waterproof — unusually for fountain pen inks — which makes it genuinely useful for finished illustration work rather than just sketching.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"pilot-iroshizuku-fountain-pen-ink","title":"Pilot Iroshizuku Fountain Pen Ink 50ml","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe accessible Japanese benchmark\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIroshizuku occupies a specific position in the fountain pen world: accessible enough to recommend to beginners, characterful enough to keep the attention of experienced collectors.

The colour names are drawn from Japanese nature — Tsuki-yo is moonlit night, Kiri-same is autumn rain — and the names are as much a part of the product as the colours.
