Pilot's "iro-utsushi" is a dip pen-type writing instrument that allows you to write by dipping the nib into fountain pen ink. Unlike general "dip pens," it has a pen point on the nib, similar to a fountain pen, so it has a soft touch on paper and allows for smooth writing of fine characters and illustrations. Furthermore, by rinsing the nib with water and wiping it with a cloth, you can easily enjoy various ink colors.
