Color & Character

This is a balanced purple with gentle depth and noticeable shading on quality paper. It reads clearly in everyday use while revealing subtle tonal shifts that reward slower, longer writing sessions.

Bottle & Design

The 50ml glass bottle is desk-worthy and purposeful, featuring a concave reservoir at the base that pools the last drops for easier filling. Clean labeling and a wide, stable footprint make it practical to use and display.

Writing Experience

Well-behaved in most fountain pens, Murasaki-Shikibu offers smooth flow and consistent performance across a range of nibs. As a water-based, dye-based ink, it cleans easily and pairs best with fountain pen-friendly paper to showcase its shading.
