The name Iroshizuku is a combination of the Japanese words Iro (Coloring), expressing high standards and variation of colors, and Shizuku (Droplet), that embodies the very image of dripping water. Each ink name derives from the expressions of beautiful Japanese natural landscapes and plants, all of which contribute to the depth of each individual hue.

The backdrop of a bamboo forest is one of the most iconic of Japanese nature. This green calls to mind the inviting touch of the wind flowing through the stalks of a bamboo forest.
