I received three of the four new Iroshizuku ink colors this past week. The only one that I did not get is ina-ho which is a brown.
I'm a little ambivalent about these inks, they are not quite as intense and saturated as some of the other Iroshizuku inks, but I do like them.
I did not think that I was going to like the kosumosu, which is a light pink, but the more I use it the more I like it. The green is truly a bamboo color and also a nice writer, but my favorite of this group is the mirasaki-shikibu, which is a luscious purple. They call it a bluish purple but I do not detect the blue.
These inks are currently available in the US from Jetpens or on eBay from Engeika, I'm sure Goulet Pens will have these inks soon also.

Ooh, pretties! Thank you for the review.
I just ordered Noodler's Black Swan in Australian Roses. I can't wait to try it out, although I don't know if I'll get the black swan without a flex pen. The flex pen may have to be the next purchase.
I knew I should have stayed away from fountain pens, lol!
Pretty colors for spring. :)
Thanks for the post--glad to see these inks in action :D
I agree, these are FAB spring inks!!
