Ink Review #263: Pilot 100th Anniversary Benzaiten Pink

Today I’ll be reviewing one of Pilot’s 100th Anniversary inks. This collection is inspired by the Seven Gods of Good Fortune. Benzaiten is a Japanese goddess who represents the flow of things ; water, music, eloquence, and words.

Swabs:

Writing Sample:

This ink had a wet but consistent flow, consistent with PIlot Iroshizuku inks. I did not experience any hard skips or starts and felt that this was an excellent ink to use in dry pens.

Overall: I liked this sample a lot, It had a wonderful flow, high shading, and is a unique shade of coral.
