The Iroshizuku Mini Sets

I recently picked up another triple mini set of Iroshizuku ink. By opting for the mini set, I was able to secure three different 15 mL bottles for the price of a single standard 50 mL bottle. This approach is a fantastic way to sample a variety of colors without committing to a full-sized bottle immediately.

 

Collection Status

This latest purchase brings my growing collection to approximately eight different Iroshizuku inks.

  • Current Set — Three new 15 mL colors added to the rotation.
  • Total Collection — Roughly eight unique Iroshizuku inks now in my possession.
Tip: If you want to expand your color palette, the triple mini sets offer the best value-to-variety ratio for collectors looking to sample the Iroshizuku line.
Inventory Overview

To keep track of your own collection, consider using a simple tracking table like the one below to manage your inventory.

I believe there are at least 26 standard colors available, along with several seasonal and special editions. It remains an incredibly exciting addition to my growing writing arsenal.

Stay tuned as I continue to document my ink journey and test new shades.

My ZX-100 has lasted over 2½ years, enduring countless tosses into my backpack and car without any issues. However, the lower-end ZX-100 and ZX-110 models have a significant downside: poor-quality earpads.   The Earpad Problem Over time, the earpads on the ZX-100 and ZX-110 disintegrate, leaving vinyl flakes that stick to your hair and ears. The ZX-310 comes with upgraded earpads that don't suffer from this problem — a clear win in the build department. Tip: If your earpads start to flake, it is a sign of material degradation; consider replacing the cushions or upgrading to a model with more durable synthetic lea...

It's slim, lightweight, and fits well on my wrist without being too bulky. Although the 6900 series provides the benefit of a well-placed front illumination button, the 5600 remains the ideal size for everyday wear.   Section II Best Compromise: G900...
