Chushu is a very dark gray with undertones of purple. It has very little shading and no sheen, making it a very attractive option for people who want a subtle elegance to their inks rather than flashiness.
The name of the ink color is embossed on each cartridge and come in a pack of three. Each cartridge set comes in its own white portable carrying case. Sailor fountain pen ink cartridges are proprietary, and only fit Sailor fountain pens that accept cartridges.
The Sailor Shikiori line is inspired by all the beautiful colors that naturally occur in Japan every year. These inks illustrate the vast beauty that Japan encompasses and flows incredibly well through fountain pens.
