I’d like the set with kon-peki.
I’ve been wanting to try thst one, among others.
Thanks!
BG
Wow.
Very cool. Set A should I win, please.
A nice giveaway…I like the first set with Ama iro. I don’t have those colors.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo…..I’m torn between Set A and B, leaning more towards B.
I’d love to win set B because a) I don’t have any rich jewel-toned ink, and b) Saturday is my birthday. This would be an excellent serendipitous birthday win.
What a great giveaway! I love the full-size Iro bottles but these mini bottles are super cute. I would choose the third set, with Tsuki-yo, Take-sumi, and Kon-peki.
Hard to decide because I LOVE Pilot Iroshizuku inks and only have a couple bottles. I’d have to pick Set C to try some brighter colors. I love the dependability of the flow with PI inks. Especially important since I use fine and extra fine nibs. Fingers crossed! 🙂
I would go with Set B. They are colors I haven’t tried. Thanks so much for the give-away.
Set C would be great!
So pretty! Would like the last set (would that be C?) because those look like interesting colors I’d like to use.
Just for US people :C boooo!
JK good luck everyone.
Thanks, Ana and Jet Pens, for the giveaway! It’s difficult to choose between sets – they’re all lovely. I think I would be happiest with set C, though, as the colors look so cheery! 🙂
i would love set b of the mini trios of iroshizuku inks because i’m an ink addict and don’t have any of these three colors in my 88 bottles of ink!!! thank you for the opportunity.
It would be really neat to win set B.
oooo, count me in, Ana. Any of them would be great but 2 out of the 3 of the ones in set C are on my shopping list anyway. I love your site – it’s part of my daily required reading.
I would like to enter to win Set A please- because using those ink colors would stretch me away from the more ordinary colors I currently use. Thank you, Jet Pens and Ana!
Set C looks very cute!
Set B please as I love the color options and Iroshizuku ink rocks!
I would love to try out Set B! I have one bottle of Iroshizuku, and am so impressed with it, and want to try more!
I’d want to try out set A, because I had a sample of fuyu-gaki and LOVED it, and I’ve been wanting to try ama-iro, too. Plus, my mom loves green, so I’d probably set her up with the syo-ro….and a new pen to match, of course. 🙂 Have I mentioned those 15 mL bottles are adorable? SO CUTE.
Ooooh I would pick set C for sure. Very nice inks.
Nice giveaway! I would love set B. The mini bottles are so cute.
I want any set. I’m new to the fountain pen world and have only been using cartridges so far!
Set B; I don’t have a blue similar to Morning Glory & I’m sadly deficient in Magenta. Thank you for the chance!
I would choose Set B so I could so I could send them across the pond to share with family.
I would love set A! I love fuyu-gaki, and I’ve been dying to try the other two.
WOW What an awesome giveaway! thanks Ana and Jetpens. I would use set A (with ama-iro, etc) to write correspondence with and just have fun.
I think Set C would be my choice–I don’t have any inks that resemble those colors! Hard choice, though.
Thanks for the opportunity to win! I would love Set B–those jewel tones would be perfect for fall.
Set B would be awesome!
I am new to fountain pens and ink. They are all so beautiful! I would love set B with the grape ink! Thank you!
I’d love to try Set B. I’ve heard of those inks, and have been wanting to give them a try. I don’t have any Pilot inks, so this would be a first.
I would love set A because I’m a newb to the ink world and have been hem-hawing over which to buy first!!
Oh, fun. What a great giveaway. Those little bottles are adorable, and Iroshizuku is such a well behaved ink. Should I be so lucky as to win, Set B please. 😉
Wow! I’d love to have Set B. Thanks for the chance to win!
Set B would be great to receive, Yama-Budo would be my first red!
Wow, thanks for the awesome giveaway.
Color set B would be my choice, because I loved the Yama-budo ink sample when I got my hands on it once, the same reason for the Asa-gao, but I still haven’t tried the Shin-Kai. I’ve heard people rave about that particular ink, and I’m itching to snatch it up from somewhere. Plus, the little 15 mL bottles look adorable.
I would choose set C because it fills three holes in my current rainbow of color. I don’t have an orange, a light blue or a teal.
I’d love to win set B because I have only recently gotten into fountain pens and own only one bottle of ink (kon-peki) and would like to try other colors. Thanks for the great giveaway.
Great giveaway! They all look so amazing, but I prefer Set A if I win. Thank you for the opportunity!
Set A please!
Oooh, pick me! I’d like Set A, should I win.
Thanks to you and Jetpens for the giveaway!
Most excellent giveaway! I would really like to try Fuyu-gaki, so I am am choosing set C. Thanks for the chance.
Nice giveaway! I’ll take set A 🙂
I really love Set C, I like deeper color, especially the take-sumi. It is dark enough, but not black. 🙂
Set A would be my preference, as it is the most business appropriate.
Set A because I love kon-peki.
I would like set B, because I love blues and purples.
I’d like the set with Syo-Ro. You showed that ink in one of your cool match ups. Thank you and Jet Pens for doing this. I saw those sets on their website.
Set A — I love Syo-ro but only have a sample right now.
I’d love to win! I have been wanting to try Iroshizuku inks, and I’ve come close to buying a bottle a number of times… Choosing is hard, but I think I’d have to go with set B — Asa-gao, Shin-kai, and Yama-budo are such lovely, deep and rich looking colors.
Oh wow, I’ve been admiring these! Iroshizuku inks are pretty expensive, but I recently got some tsuki-yo via Amazon for about $20, so I’ll rule out set A.
B or C are both EXCELLENT, but I think I’d go with C…I don’t have a good sky blue (mostly mints or teals on the light side, true blues or blue-blacks on the dark side), I only have one orange (J. Herbin’s orange indien), and syo-ro is very unlike any of the greens in my collection (I lean towards the olive tones, generally, but also have Noodler’s Sequoia, similar but much darker than syo-ro. So dark it’s often showing up as black in my very fine nibs!)
I don’t have any greys and my only purple is J. Herbin’s violet pensee, not counting some cartridges in Kaweco summer purple that I can’t find or other carts in J. Herbin poussiere de lune, but I dunno, set B just doesn’t speak to me as much. I like the wild brights more.
One thing I do know: I should really stop buying ink for a while, but giveaways don’t count, right?
Awesome giveaway! Would love to try set B. Thank you!
Thank you for the chance to win some great inks. I would pick set a as they would be the most work appropriate colors.
Set c looks divine! I’ve been meaning to try this ink out. Thanks for the chance. Paperpastries at gmail dot com
I want color set B because of their beauty and variations from more traditional black or blue.
Set C because of those crazy beautiful colors!
I’m such a big fan of the Asa-Gao ink and would love to win Set B. Frankly though, any of them would be great!
Ooh… if I was lucky enough to win I would love to pick set B as I’ve been wanting to try out the color Shin-Kai for awhile!
Set A, because I don’t have any of those yet!
Set C is awesome. Love the vermillion!
I would love to have Set C because I love writing my pen pal letters with colorful ink, and also because I don’t have any Iroshiizuku ink yet.
Set B- while I am a sucker for Blue inks like in C those in group B would be more of a departure from what I would normally try.
Set A is so cheerful. I have just one ink for my few fountain pens and really would love to get more fun ones as opposed to solely business-type colors.
Thank you. Beautiful inks. I’d choose set a.
Set C because I’m obsessed with orange-y inks! Thanks for the fab giveaway!
Thanks. Set A – my colors, black & blue!
I would love to try any or all of them but the one that speaks to me is C because of the variety of moods implicit in those colors. Thanks for the opportunity to try them
Ooo.. Love set B. The red looks like blood! Ha, ha! Beautiful navy. Thank you!
I like Set B because I’m on the search for the perfect purple ink, and also the other 2 colors I would use as well.
Set B — Asa-gao, Shin-kai, and Yama-budo — are my choice today. (I’m sure I am fickle enough that i would chose another set tomorrow.)
Set A looks really nice! I’ve yet to try iroshizuku inks.
After some thought, set B was my choice 🙂
So hard to choose. I think I would go with b. and then a. and finally c 😀
I would love to win Set B. Despite Shin-Kai and Yama-Budo being two of the most popular Iroshizuku inks, I haven’t tried either.
Set C! I love these inks
I’d love to have the tsuki-yo/take-sumi/kon-peki collection. It’s so hard for me to find a black and a blue that I like, but the tsuki-yo and take-sumi look perfect for me. And after hearing Brad Dowdy gush about Iroshizuku inks on a recent Pen Addict episode, they’ve moved to the top of my “to try” list.
This is great! I did not know they made these mini-bottle sets. I would go for set B.
Oops… I thought the pictures were in order of A,B,C… The one that I thought I picked in my previous comment turned out to actually be C. So if you could maybe delete my first comment? Please… 🙂
Oh, I would LOVE to win set A! Mostly because my first ever fountain pen just arrived last week and I have yet to get any ink for it.
I think I would want Set C. I have heard amazing things about fuyu-gaki.
That’s a tough choice; they’re all beautiful colors. I think I’d pick Set A. Thanks for the opportunity.
Set B! I’ve been wanting to try these inks, and would love to have three at once.
Set C looks absolutely delicious!
I would love to win set A. I really love all the sets but I have always wanted a bottle of Kon Peki. Thank you so much for running this giveaway! 🙂
Set B! I love Yama-Budo and always thought it would be my first bottle of Iroshizuku ink.
Tough choice, but I’ll go with set C, because I’ve never tried any of those three inks before. Thanks so much for doing this giveaway!
Nice! I like Set C.
Set B, if you please! Have been interested in mating Iroshizuku inks with my Japanese pens, but too many Diamine and Noodlers to make the splurge! Thank you for the consideration.
Set A looks like the perfect set for a teacher. I’d love to start the school year with it.
I Iove these inks. My preference is for set A.
I would like to win set C. I have mostly blacks and blue-blacks, and it would be fun to try something different. Thanks for the giveaway!
Set A, with the Tsuki-yo. Thanks to the previous comment about the order of the sets.
This is a great giveaway! I’ve been dying to try out more of the Pilot Iroshizuku line. I usually love darker colors, but I also love green so I would choose Set C. Syo-ro is such a beautiful and complex green, I could not turn it down. Plus, I don’t have any sky blues.
I’d choose set B because the Yamabudo is so striking.
Set C! The colors are so cheerful! Using them would brighten my day.
Set A would be awesome, but I wouldn’t turn any of them down, that’s for sure. Woot!
Oh my. Set B is nice. Dark enough to use on a daily basis, colorful enough that it can be reserved for special events.
Oh my, I would happily receive any of these. Looking at the sets, my first choice would be Set C. These bright and interesting colors are unlike other inks I already have and would inspire me to use inks differently. Second choice would be set A for Tsuki-yo. Third choice set B so I can try that beautiful and subtle shin-kai.
Set B — Asa-gao, Shin-kai, and Yama-budo. I don’t have any Iroshizuku inks yet. Thanks for the chance to win!
They’re all beautiful! I think I’d go for Set A though because I have a weird fixation with the sea at the moment, and I could use all three of those colours to create some lovely stormy sea-themed drawings 😀
I would love the set with Fuyu Gaki and Syo Ro. Two of my favorites!
I guess set C because I usually like darker colors and Tsuki-Yo IS my fav of these. Any would be more than acceptable though. Thanks for the opportunity.
Set C, that Burnt Orange is to-die for.
I would like Set C! I am a big fan of blue and orange, but while I have kon-peki, shin-kai, and yu-yake, I don’t have any of the colors in this set and would like to compare them.
I would love set B! Because Yama-Budo is one of my favorite inks, and I really loved my sample of Asa-Gao when I had it.
Set B as I find myself turning to inks that are more subtle but still off the traditional path of business colored ink. But really all of the sets are gorgeous!
Generous contest. Thanks. I prefer Set B.
Set B Please! I would love to try a bottle ink! I am so happy they are making smaller bottles.
What a great idea for a contest! If I was lucky enough to win, I would be torn between set B and set C. In the end, I would have to go with set B. I have heard great things about Shin-kai. I’ve tried a sample of Asa-gao and really liked what it did in a pen with a stub nib and Yama-budo looks like it would be interesting, too.
I’d love to win a set. I love Set C because Fuyu-Gaki is gorgeous!
Oh, what a treat! I hope I win 🙂 I’d pick set B. Purple inks make my heart sing!
Set C looks lovely. I’m not sure I would normally select this combo, so it would be great to win! Thank you!!
I’d love Set B! Thanks for the chance.
I would be thrilled to win any of these sets, especially C. In the beginning of the school year, I make bookmarks with students’ names on them as a reward for work completion and to keep their interest in calligraphy alive. These would be a perfect set to have on hand! Thanks!
Cool little bottles. I like set C the best. Thanks for the contest.
Always wanted to try their ink.
If I were to be so lucky as to win, I would like Set B, because: Asa-gao. My dear departed mother used to call me Morning Glory. (Yep, playing the dead mom card. 😉 )
Make mine Set A.
Very generous. Set C would be nice.
Fantastic contest!
Forgot to note Set A.
Set “A” fits my style best since I prefer traditional colored inks and conservative (boring) fountain pens.
Oh, what a generous giveaway. Set B, please. Asa-Gao makes my heart flutter!
Oooh….set C please!
Very generous giveaway, many thanks. I would choose set A–I really like the variant blue of Tsuki-yo, I know someone who really likes Kon-Peki, so I would share it with them, and perhaps Take-Sumi is the black I’ve been waiting for…
Set C would be fantastic! Thanks for this opportunity!
So hard to choose. There is something I love in all of them. I would say set B since all three are colors I love. The others each contain a color I’m not certain I would use much.
I’d love to win Set A! I mostly do my writing at work, so darker colors are best for me. I’ve tried samples of Tsuki-yo and Kon Peki and love both of them, it would be great to try Take Sumi.
That fuyu-gaki is just gorgeous!
That makes me want set C.
I live in Brazil, but can I enter the giveaway and send to a friend in the USA, in case I win?
Thank you!
Set A as I would love to try Tsuki-yo Moonlit Night
Set B, because it’s already in my Jet Pens Wishlist!
Wish me luck 🙂 hoping for set A, because I just ran out of my big bottle of kon peki
Love dark colors so set A it is! Thanks so much
Hello,
I’d like Set A. Thanks 🙂
Set B, super pretty please! Asa-gao and Yama-budo are two of the most perfect colors ever invented, and I am excited to try the Shin-kai. Bonus that my wife likes these colors–we can share. (Well, maybe….) Thank you, and a big thank you to Jet Pens, too.
I like set c because I typically only write in dark blues/blacks for work
I’d love to try set B, especially Shin-kai, which looks like a lovely deep blue. Thanks for offering the giveaway!
I would love set C. I live on Lake Superior in Northern WI, and the colors in this set reflect the many shades of the lake, sky and surrounding pines.
Set A please…. Because who doesn’t love them some Iroshizuku?!?
I would be thrilled with any of these sets, but I pick set C.
Set C. One word Orange. Fuyu-gaki is beautiful. I’m also most intrigued by Syo-to.
I love these! Set C looks so colourful so I will go with that!!
I would go with set B because I’ve been dying to try the Yama budo
Set A is what I meant. I apologize, I thought the pictures were in a, b, c order. Of course, I would be excited to win any of them, but that’s the one that touched my heart. Please delete one of my posts if this made it count as two entries, I’m so sorry for any inconvenience.
Option C please!
Set C. Because I already know I love Yu-Yake, and Fuyu-Gaki looks like it’s the same only more so. And because the other two would be perfect to write to one of my best friends in because she loves everything teal and turquoise.
Set A for me! Love that blue!
Set B – I like all three colors and wouldn’t use the orange and red from the other sets as much. The bottles are quite attractive.
Absolutely Set B, for the less conventional colors.
Set C would be my choice, of the three options. As someone who loves blues, blue/blacks, turquoise, and orange inks, it seems as though this set was put together with me in mind.
Thanks for the awesome opportunity.
I’d love the yama budo set!
I’d pick set A. Kon Peki is one I’ve been wanting to try, it’s so popular, and set has black, which I don’t have much of.
Thanks for great opportunity.
I like Set A, it reminds me of fall which is fast approaching and I do have a few empty fountain pens who are begging to be inked up with a new color! My pen collection has grown much faster than my ink collection and that needs to change!
Oh they’re all so great! If I had to choose I’d probably pick set C because I’ve really wanted to try the fuyu gaki
Id love Set B. Slightly out of my comfort zone but nothing crazy. My wife would love the grape!
Thank you for the chance to win set A.
Set C has the Asa-Gao I’ve been wanting to try. Thank you.
Set C, because its the set that contains the most interesting and intense colors..
What a wonderful idea. I’d like “Set B” because I have a corporate office job and the blue shading I could pull off, while the last ink gives me some fun for my non work pens. If I win, drop me a line at johnson.j.andrew@gmail.com.
Set B! They look like fall colors to me.
What a great contest! I never noticed the 3-bottle sets before. I would choose set A even though I have a full bottle of Kon-Peki already but I love that ink.
Definitely set B! 😀 If only one of the sets had Fuyu Syogun!
Set-B : because Yama-Budo rocks !!
Awesome! Set “B” please.
I like Set A, that red looks really nice.
Set C! That grey turquoise looks lovely and the sky blue looks like a shade I might actually enjoy (blues are not usually a favorite). Thanks for the giveaway! If I were to win, that would make a great present for my birthday on Monday
Oh, set B please although they are all gorgeous. mstraat@neb.rr.com
I’d love set A colors that I would not have the courage to buy in full bottles
Set B, hands down! That red is so gorgeous. I’ve never bought any of their inks because I couldn’t decide on a color, but now I don’t have to choose just one!
Set C would be awesome to win! Thanks for the chance!
Definitely Set A! Two nice but very different blues & a sweet, sweet black? Can’t turn it down. Thank you!
I would love Set A! The blues are great and I have been wanting to try take-sumi for a while! Thanks for the giveaway!
I’d love to have set B. I’ve had my eye on two of those colors for a while now.
Would definitely go with Set A. It has all the colors I use on a daily basis – just the “boring” basics of Black, Red, and Blue. I’m always on the lookout for new shades and variations of the basics.
Set b’s colors are deep and beautiful for impending fall (my FAVORITE season!!!)
My first choice would be Set B, followed by Set C.
They’re all beautiful, but I like Set A.
How do you choose just one? I guess it would have to be Set A if you twisted my arm…
I would love to win Set B. I’ve been wanting to try Yama Budo for a while now!
Thank you for the giveaway!
I love Set A – the colors are so deep and vibrant and different from my “standards”.
I’d go for Set A, since, of the Iroshizuku inks I own, I don’t have any of those colors.
I like Set C just because the colors are bright. I use a lot of muted blacks and blues, feel like it’s time to branch out with some bright red/oranges and light blues.
Hi Ana, I would love Set A. I have never used Kon-peki and would love to try it. Also, one of my pens is currently inked with some “borrowed” Take-sumi and it would be great to have a bottle of my own.
Set B for sure, Shin-Kai is already in my rotation. Asa-gao looks gorgeous, and given how much I like the J. Herbin Poussiere de Lune, an Iroshizuku purple would be great to try.
I would love set C. I’m a big fan of Iroshzuku inks, and these are all colors I haven’t tried yet.
I would like Set C. That Grey Turquoise is so moodily beautiful, and persimmon is just the bomb! And sky blue is so innocent. ..
SeT B … Yama-Budo for my Orange TWSBI 580AL – should look creepy for Hlloween! Shin-Kai for my new Lamy 2000 – classy with a hint of color. Asa-Gao, hmm, I’m sure I can find a pen for it!
Thanks for all the reviews you do. I would choose Set B because I have been wanting to try yama-buda.
Thank you for the chance! I’d love to win Set A. Safe business colors.
Ooh, set B. I haven’t tried any of those colors although I am addicted to fuyu-gaki. Thanks!
Wow! What a tremendous giveaway! I’d pick set A, because all three are easily work appropriate and I know I’d use them all.
Set A, please, because tsuki-yo is a walk through the woods on a cold night…
Oh man, this is hard. I’d have to say Set B, just because I imagine I’d use Shin-kai and Yama-budo a ton. Set A and Set C are so gorgeous though… Argh! My budget is too small for JetPens!
Set B i love these little ink bottles and blue/greys and purples are my favourite! what’s your favourite colour? I’m always afraid of the big bottles because I’ll never finish it, so this is perfect!
I like the bold colors of set B. Thanks for the opportunity!
What to choose? What to choose? I’d love to win set B but they’re all pretty wonderful. I love the new smaller bottles. Thanks for sharing!
I already have a bottle of ShinKai but would love to win set B.
Would love to try specific colors from each, but forced to choose would have to go with B. Nice sizes to give colors a try without breaking th bank until you know if you like the color.
They’re all great sets. I’d prefer set C because it best complements my existing collection
Would love A because of the red/orange.
I would love set B. I have none of these colors but enjoy the pilot inks. I have been waiting to try these smaller ink sizes. With the bigger bottles it takes me too much time to go through the them .
Set A. Blue is a color that speaks to me and I love how the midnight blue reflects the sky at that time and the deep blue reminds me of the ocean~
Set B, because I haven’t tried any of them yet!
I would purchase “Set C” because, as a new FP user, I picked up more dark inks than bright inks, so I’d like to vary my collection. Also, the bright colors might be a selling point to get my bride interested in the hobby! Thanks for the chance to win. My best to all who have entered!
I’d like Set C – I’ve ordered my first Iroshizuku bottle from Japan inspired by the many reviews despite the price & I’d love to tty these others too!
Love these new bottles. Would like to start my collection with Set B.
Thanks
Ugh, according to Jet Pens, it is Set C that has Syo-Ro. So ignore set A above. Sorry Ana, for so many goofs in my replies.
I would like set B as I have wanted to try them grapes ink.
I would like to try Set A because the colors look extremely vibrant. I have just recently developed an interest in fountain pens and would love to try these out because of all the good reviews. Thank you so much!
I would love Set C because it has really vibrant colors and each ink is very different from the next.
Gotta go with Set B – prefer the darker colors! Thanks for doing this giveaway…
Set c please. I have new pens waiting to be inked with these great colors
I really want to try the yama-budo but i already have a whole bottle of shinkai. I guess I would like set A then. Hope i win XD
I would love set B, because I’m a blue and purple kind of person! That Yama-budo Wild Grapes looks wonderful. Thanks for the contest!
Oh goodness, they’re all so beautiful! I think Set B is most up my alley. Thanks so much!
Set A, by far. I’ve been wanting to try the Fuyu Gaki for a long time now…
I’d probably buy set B because I love the deep blue one
Actually, it is SET C I would like. Yeesh. I need to read ALL of everything.
Set B. Shin-kai is my favorite ink, and I need a good purple and dark blue.
Nice work. Set C PLS! 😀
I’d have to go with set B – not too out there color wise but it would stretch me a little
I’d go with Set B. That Yama-Buda looks amazing and, is completely different than anything else I have.
Set C all the way. I love the blues – turquoise is my favorite color – and that persimmon shade is a gorgeous contrast. The set looks like a brilliant maple against a bright blue sky in Autumn.
Set C has two of the best colors Pilot makes: Fuyu-gaki and Syo-ro. I love orange ink!
I love all three! I have all three saved to my Wishlist… If I have to choose one, I would choose Set B since the colors are a bit different.
This is cool…. thanks for the give-away, and thanks to Jet Pens. I like the set with the red ink in it… I’ve been looking for a good red to turn to, and this could be it. I think it’s set A.
Set A, curious to try Tsuki-yo and this Kon-Peki I’ve been hearing so much about
I would love to try Set C because I’m *just* getting into fountain pens, and it’s closest to a red/green/blue coloration that I think would be a good starting point for me.
Set B, because I like Yama-budo.
Didn’t know they had mini ones. Also I’d go set a
