Pilot Iroshizuku Asa-Gao, Dark Blue Fountain Pen Ink

Pilot Iroshizuku Asa-Gao fountain pen ink is a dark blue ink that's inspired by the Morning Glory flower.

The colour is a striking version of blue that reminds me of blue marker ink actually. If you're a watercolour user, you can think of this ink as the darker version of Phthalo Blue.

This ink has a good contrast against paper.

For writing and drawing purposes, this ink performs well. There's an attractive sheen, a gradation of colour, to the strokes.

As a main ink for writing, I think it's a bit too glaring. My preference would be for a darker and duller ink such as Shin Kai.
