Pilot Iroshizuku Ink Crimson Glory Vine (Yama-budo) 50ml
Pilot Iroshizuku Ink Crimson Glory Vine (Yama-budo) 50ml takes its name from a wild mountain grape that grows across Japan's highland forests, and the ink earns the reference. It's a rich, complex red with a distinct purple undertone: not quite burgundy, not quite magenta, but something with more depth than either. On absorbent paper it shades noticeably, shifting from a saturated crimson at the stroke's edge to a softer, almost rose-like tone where the ink pools and dries.
Like every ink in the Iroshizuku range, Yama-budo is well-mannered in the nib: good flow, clean starts, and no staining, making it as practical as it is characterful. It arrives in Pilot's signature flat-bottomed glass bottle, weighted and recessed at the base so you can fill from the very last drop.
Why we love it
"Pilot Iroshizuku Yama-Budo has been a longtime favourite in my ink collection. It's a rich purple that adds a subtle pop of colour to any page, whether I'm journaling or just writing notes. The 50ml bottle lasts forever through countless fountain pen refills, and honestly, this colour never fails to make me smile."
"The perfect match for a plum — this bottled ink is a rich, dark purple perfect for any writing session. A sophisticated colour with a playful side."
