Sailor Shikiori Chushu Fountain Pen Ink Cartridge

[Description]

”The harvest moon floats in the quiet autumn night.” This ink from the Sailor Shikiori Collection draws inspiration from such a scene.

Chushu (仲秋) means mid-autumn; this ink draws inspiration from the color of the midnight sky during the mid-autumn – a deep dark gray hue with subtle purple undertones, like the night sky illuminated by the moon.

Water-based dye ink cartridges. SHIKIORI ink cartridges are undergoing a packaging change. The old packaging contained 3 pcs in a plastic case, while the new packaging contains 8 pcs in a paper box.

This color is also available in 20ml bottled form. 

* Please use with SAILOR fountain pens only. Using with other brands may result in leakage or damage to your pen.

What is Shikiori?

Shiki-ori (四季織) means ”four seasons weaving”. It is one of Sailor’s most iconic collections. The changing seasons are both a daily reality and an eternal source of inspiration for art and poetry. Sailor embraces these seasonal themes, creating colors inspired by traditional Japanese natural landscapes and literary imagery, bringing these wonderfully varied hues into our writing lives.

The complete ink collection currently includes five series: 16 colors of Izayoi no Yume (十六夜の夢, ”Dreams of Sixteen Nights”), 4 colors of Tsukiyo no Minamo (月夜の水面, ”Water’s Surface Under Moonlight”), 4 colors of Amaoto (雨音, ”Sound of Rain”), 4 colors of Otogibanashi (おとぎばなし, ”Fairy Tales”); and 4 colors of Sansui (山水, ”Natural Landscape”).
