Amazing color! Perfect consistency! Love Pilot ink and pens!

I love this ink. I ordered it because I had seen a video mentioning that it looked like the Japanese leaves during the fall and honestly, this is one of the most beautiful colors I’ve ever written with. I’m a huge fan of reds and I usually like slightly darker and richer reds like red dragon or rouge grente but this lighter red with the gold undertones is stunning

Lovely ink, reminds me of fall in Japan

I am using this ink in my Lamy Safari. The ink is smooth and it dries fairly quickly. I love the brightness of the pink and how it is almost a red hue in some of the darker portions.

We always had japanese maples around growing up in New England, so autumn was always a colorful blast. This red really brings back memories for me. It's my favorite to do edits with and works in everything I use. It feels a tad thinned out, but that's not bad.

This is my first Iroshizuku ink. I've been enjoying many other brands, but not this one. This ink has really made me to a second look at this brand! The ink flow is so smooth it makes writing almost effortless. The color is a deeply saturated reddish-pinkish, and you can see both shades emerge in varying ways as you write and as it dries. It is, simply, a deep beautiful complex color that is a pleasure to write with, both aesthetically and in terms of ease and flow of the ink in the pen. I put this in my 'Punch Pink' TWSBI, and they make for a very passionate couple.

I'm still fairly new to pens, and this was the first bottle of Pilot ink I purchased. It's a beautiful and vivid color that looks just like the little Japanese maple trees my family used to grow. It feels really nice and smooth to write with, and is an absolute pleasure to use. It dries quickly, so I don't have any issues with smudging.

The title says it all. It just looks great on the page. I haven't used the ink in a wet writer as of yet, so I can't truly speak to its shading ability...but man does it look pretty on the page. I'm relatively new to the game, but I really have a hard time believing I'll be forsaking the Pilot Iroshizuku line of inks anytime soon!

I absolutely love this color and I am making notes using my favorite fountain pen in between using my computer.

Based on the reviews, I was afraid this ink would be too pink. But it goes on pink and dries more red. It's lovely. It's not a deep burgundy red, but a bright-ish red with pink overtones. I like it more than Yama Budo - and that's saying something for me!

Looking for a richly red/pink ink. This is it for me. I use it in a TWSBI Diamond Mini AL, Fine nib. Although not a document ink, so not as permanent as as the De Atramentis document inks, I find it is still fairly readable when I spill coffee on my notes. As a lefty, I do need to blot occasionally - but that is the case for all the inks I like (I find the fast-drying are too dry for the pens I favor).

Kon Peki and Momoji are my favorite two inks by a long shot. Such rich colors, certainly worth the money.

I need to say that I had previously despised red ink! I love burgundy colors and tend toward muted colors. So it was extremely odd for me to buy a full bottle of this ink, without even buy a tester or small size first; I bought it based on a review in a pen magazine! That was less than a year ago and I'm now on my third bottle. That said, I felt I needed to review this ink after reading a few of the disappointed reviews. I think it's unfair to downgrade an ink based solely on your preconceived idea of its color. You may not like the color and that could be pointed out in a review, but I think the ink should be judged on its performance. I do understand the confusion from name. Most people expect, I believe, that something called autumn leaves should be warm in tone. One of the many benefits of this ink is that it can be both warm and cool at the same time. The color itself is a cooler toned red but it has a wonderful golden sheen which adds warmth and an autumnal glow. It is quite unique in that, especially with a flex nib, it can virtually go from pink to deep cool red as well as from light peach to rich coppery red all in a stroke! On bright white paper it definitely reads cooler and brighter but on cream or ivory papers it namesake seems justified. For its beautiful tone on tone shading and the occasional gorgeous golden sheen that isn't overdone just a delightful surprise, it gets 5 gold stars in my book and I believe it is worth every penny! Happily it flows beautifully, drys relatively fast and has been easy to clean from my pens. I've not experienced any clogging with the gold sheen and I even was able to clean it up from an accidental spill that would have been devastating had it been a darker ink. Please don't just take my word for it, I hope those who've been wary based on any negative reviews will buy a tester or small bottle to experience this unique ink for yourself. If you enjoy shading inks this one is a must try. So glad I set aside my prejudice against red ink and was bold enough to buy a bottle... or three!

i was looking for a salmon-y color and this looked pretty close on screen. got the sample and have to say, i love it! a little more pink than salmon, but a beautiful color nonetheless.

I expected this colour to have a little more orange in it.

The ink writes well but be careful the color is more of a hot pink like color as oppose to dark red or burgundy.

i really like this ink. i like the look of it and i like the bottle. i originally got this for my sisters birthday. however upon testing the ink, i found out that its very wet and has a fairly large drying time (but i suppose im too used to quicker inks.. im only a beginner myself)overall a nice ink if you can let it dry.

A classy bottle for a classical Japanese color. The color has a lot of vibrancy, just like the Japanese maple trees in the Kyoto Gardens. It's color has many layers to it depending on your writing style as well. I have two lights on my desk I use for art and writing, each with a different color temp (2700K & 5000K). The 2700K gives it a very deep color to the ink, removing the pop and is easy on the eyes for a little night time journal entry in a dim lit room. Under the 5000K gives the ink nice red pop especially on the fringes and if you have poor quality paper the feathering as well. A very fun color to play with.

This ink has a bit of shading with colors ranging from light pink, hot pink, and bright red that looks relatively dark compared to the lighter pink shades. It's interesting to watch this ink dry, as it goes on pink and then dries to the beautiful shades I just described. Wet pens will exhibit this shading behavior along with some gold sheen effects when used on high quality paper. This is a nice and pleasing light red with some shading, just be prepared to tolerate pink shades if you're adverse to those colors.

I like this red a lot, by far my favorite of the reds I've tried. I use it to grade papers and edit. It is a very distinctive red, which gives it personality and separates you from other red graders. It's color is almost what I'd call a candy red. Brian is right on with drying time (medium to high) and from my use, works well on quality fountain pen paper and the cheap stuff as well.

This ink is very nice. The color is better than I expected. I was afraid it would be excessively bright, leaning towards orange. Instead, I got a superb red ink that it just right, a bold red with just enough maroon in it to take the edge off. It is all around a great ink-- excellent flow and lubricity, no bleeding or feathering, and lots of shading.

This is my first experience with Iroshizuku ink and I have to say I love it. The flow is so wonderful and the color is beautiful. It's a mellow rosy-pink but not hot - very readable.Momiji is a unique color, the smoothest ink I've tried & with a great bottle to boot I'd say it's actually worth the price.

As other reviewers have noted, this autumn red has a lot of pink in it -- more of a Japanese maple color than a New England kind of maple. I really like it, it's very different. Perfect flow, of course, like every Iroshizuku that I've tried. But I would definitely get a sample (or two) of this before you commit, because it won't be everyone's cup of team.

This is a bit too far into the orange side of red for me to want to use it much, but of course it has the great depth of color and smoothness of all the Iro inks

Not sure what I was thinking when I bought this as its not a colour I can use a lot. Still, its a nice colour and I might think of something.

This is one of the few Iroshizuku inks that miss the mark for me. Great in-pen behavior that I have come to expect from Iroshizuku, but the color is definitely not fall leaves.As others have said, lots of pink in this one. Having seen various tree genera in fall, this doesn't look like any of them.

I have most of the Iroshizuku inks and there are a few that are special. This is not one of them. Although it is a lovely ink, I expected more shading.

the title says it all. I was disappointed. online, it looked like a deep magenta-red, but it is really just a bright fuchsia pink. certainly NOT reminiscent of autumn leaves.
