Ink Review: Pilot Iroshizuku Hana-ikada fountain pen ink
Hana-ikada is a moderately saturated pink with consistent flow, average drying time, and low shading, appearing as a darker plum blossom pink on paper rather than a pale sakura pink. It's a well-controlled writing ink that nicely fills the pink options in the Iroshizuku line.

Ink Review #2021: Pilot Iroshizuku Hana-ikada
This lovely pale pink ink has medium water resistance, 20-second dry time, no feathering on fountain pen papers, but can be light in smaller nibs, recommending medium or broad nibs for legibility. It's similar to Sailor Jentle Sakura-mori but distinct enough to own both.
