As the first of the three major fountain pen factories in Japan, Shuraku has the highest nib attainment, and it also dominates the fountain pen ink. Founded in 1911, Shole is the earliest fountain pen company in Japan, developing Japan's first fountain pen, ballpoint pen, and brush that does not dip in ink, and inventing the world's first highlighter pen in 1989.
 
Pigment ink has the advantages of high chromaticity, waterproof, lightfastness, good adhesion and long-term storage that is not easy to fade, but for a long time it is not favored by fountain pen and ink manufacturers, just because it is easy to block the pen. The greatest contribution to the ink is the application of nanopigments to the ink of fountain pens. Syle decomposes the pigment particles from micron to nano level, and adds safety additives to evenly disperse the particles, which not only does not block the pen, but also lubricates the piston structure of the fountain pen, which not only makes up for the shortcomings of pigment ink, but also gives full play to the advantages.
 
In particular, the ultra-fine particle pigment ink series is extremely black, with high blackness and fast drying, and because it is a pigment ink, it does not stain the paper, and it is a daily ink with an excellent sense of use. The only thing to note is that because the particles are too small, the extremely black will form a mirror reflection under the light, showing a little gray luster, if you pursue the ultimate blackness, it is not recommended to buy.
 
The ultra-fine particle pigment ink is also available in green ink, blue ink, and STORIA Circus Monogatari's 8-color ink, which was launched in 2015, all of which are pure colors, and Circus Tale won the 2015 Japan Stationery Award. Green ink can be used as a substitute for iron gall ink, in addition to not being anti-counterfeiting, it can present a shading effect on ordinary paper, and it can also be slightly sheen when used on pasteurized paper, and it has good ornamentality. This kind of quality, with the new square bottle of extremely black, green ink and blue ink 50ml for 105 yuan, and the circus story 30ml for 95 yuan, can not be considered expensive.
 
However, compared to pigment ink, it is dye ink that is more playable to write music. The dye ink color of the music, the writing is smooth, and the most classic color numbers are concentrated in the Four Seasons color series, such as Rikyu tea, Okuyama, mountain birds, etc. At present, there are only 20 color numbers of the four seasons on the official website of Shule, but once you enter the pit of Shule, you will find that there are far more than that.
 
Compared with the global large-scale operation of Baile, the production scale of Shule is small, the company has only 200 regular employees, but its ink is much more famous than Baile "national ink", an important reason is that the limited ink produced in various regions of Japan is all produced by Shuraku. Chiba limited, Kurashiki limited, Sapporo limited, etc., are all common region-limited inks that are only available in Japan. Bungu Box limited-edition ink, Nagasawa's Kobe ink, Kingdom Note's bioink, etc., are often sought-after, and although the main logo is not Writing, all of them are classified under the umbrella of Writing, and there are already more than 100 shades.
 
Not to mention, Silak also provides a custom ink service, which is open about half a month, and only provides 25 custom numbers at a time, according to the customer's description, which is hand-made by Ishimarusaru, a senior ink blender at Silak Ink Workshop. Even with vague words like "discerning eyes" and "little devils", Osamu Ishimaru can create ink that satisfies customers. It's just that it's already very difficult to get a custom number.
 
If you place an order in China, less than 50ml of capacity, plus international postage, the limited ink is more than 200 yuan, and the custom ink also needs a variety of communication costs, which are about 600 yuan, while the Japanese price is only 2000 yen, which is about 125 yuan. If you just want to try the color ink of writing, the four seasons color series 50ml sells for 78 yuan, the color is bright, and you can buy 16 colors on the Chinese e-commerce platform, which is very sufficient.
