Souten is a great, richly colored and very well behaved blue ink - one of my very favorite blues. Pen Chalet’s price was outstanding, as was their shipping and service.

Arrived quickly and as described. The ink is a very nice shade. It does seem to be a bit of a dry ink. I have nothing but praise for Pen Chalet and they also have excellent Social Media interaction.

Yozakura. I love this ink, very beautiful shading light purple color. Use Broad nib or thicker for best shading. Expensive and only available in small bottle.

FAQs about the Sailor Shikiori Four Seasons (20ml)
What is Sailor Shikiori ink and how is it different from other Sailor lines?
Shikiori is a dye-based ink series themed around Japan’s four seasons. Compared with other Sailor lines, Shikiori focuses on subtle, refined hues with smooth everyday performance and excellent shading potential.
What bottle sizes does Shikiori come in?
Shikiori inks are commonly offered in compact bottles (around 20 mL in many markets) designed for easy storage and collecting. Availability can vary by color and region.
Are Shikiori inks safe for all fountain pens?
Yes. They are well-behaved, dye-based formulations suitable for most fountain pens and converters. As with any ink, avoid letting ink dry out in the pen and flush periodically.
Are Shikiori inks waterproof or archival?
Most Shikiori colors are not fully waterproof or archival. They prioritize smooth flow, subtle palette, and shading. If permanence is essential, test first or choose a dedicated permanent ink line.
Do Shikiori inks shade or sheen?
Many exhibit attractive shading; some may show light sheen on coated papers with wetter nibs. Results depend on color, paper, and nib width.
What paper and nib sizes pair best with Shikiori inks?
For maximum shading/nuance, use fountain-pen-friendly or coated paper with fine–medium (daily notes) or medium–broad (expressive shading) nibs. For faster dry times, choose less-coated paper and finer nibs.
Can I mix Shikiori inks to create custom colors?
Careful mixing within dye-based Shikiori inks is generally fine—test small amounts in a separate vial first. Avoid mixing with pigmented, iron-gall, or other chemistry-different inks.
How often should I clean my pen when using Shikiori ink?
With regular use, flush with cool water every 2–4 weeks. When changing colors, flush until clear. Use a pen-safe flush if flow seems sluggish. Avoid hot water or alcohol.
Will Shikiori inks stain transparent (demonstrator) pens?
Staining is uncommon but possible with any bright dye. Regular cleaning minimizes tinting; a mild pen flush usually clears residual color from feeds and converters.
Do Shikiori inks dry quickly on office paper?
Dry time varies by nib and paper. On standard office stock with fine/medium nibs, they typically dry promptly; coated papers may require more time. Blotting paper can help in fast-note settings.
Can I use Shikiori inks with converters and piston fillers?
Yes. Fill from bottles using your pen’s compatible converter or piston. Rinse converters periodically to keep seals and flow in good condition.
Why do people collect Shikiori inks by season or set?
The line’s seasonal concept groups complementary hues—many writers enjoy curating palettes (spring pastels, autumn earth tones) for journals, planners, and themed stationery.
Any tips for travel or extreme temperatures with Shikiori inks?
When flying, keep pens full or empty and store nib-up. Don’t leave bottles or filled pens in hot cars or freezing conditions; temperature swings can cause leaks or performance changes.
What if my pen hard-starts or feels dry with a Shikiori color?
Flush to remove old residue, check the cap seal, and try a slightly wetter ink or broader nib. Persistent issues often resolve with a basic nib alignment/tune.
How should I store Shikiori ink and how long will it last?
Store bottles upright, tightly capped, away from heat and sunlight. Properly stored, they remain usable for years. If you notice odor, sludge, or mold, discontinue use.
