On December 28, 2024 my Tibaldi Impero Celluloid Scriptorium Pens Idyll (Fine) joined its comrades when it was filled with Pilot Iroshizuku Fuyu-syogun. I refilled it once; the last refill was on March 4, 2025. The pen was in use for 7 months and was emptied and cleaned on August 12, 2025, saying good-bye to its fellows.

Thoughts Before Filling

I emptied my grey inked pen and wanted another, and even though this is a repeat combination, I have missed using this pen and it is officially Winter and, frankly, I’m feeling like an old man these days.

Thoughts After Cleaning the Pen

I didn’t use this as often as I anticipated, due in part to having too many other options. I did find myself wanting to refill it, but my original intention was to swap this for kiri-same, so I will respect that. It is no longer Winter, but neither is it Spring. The skies are blue, there is no rain, but I do still enjoy a grey ink.
