Pale Red Plum Fountain Pen Ink

All Kyo Iro inks are handmade in Kyoto, Japan using traditional dyeing techniques and materials.

Pale crimson. In the past, the darker the color, the more expensive it was, and it was considered a "forbidden color" that was only allowed to be used by members of the royal family and high-ranking people.

"Kyo no Oto" is a series of writing inks that reproduce traditional Japanese colors that have been used since the Heian period with modern techniques and interpretations. Each color features a unique name and story.

This is a dye ink developed independently by TAG STATIONERY and Kyoto Kusaki Dye Laboratory, which consists of dyeing and weaving experts.

It is a characteristic ink that makes use of the gradation of light and shade using the bleeding characteristic of dyes.

Dye ink is soluble in water, so after writing with ink, you can use it for various expressions such as "blurring" or stretching the color thinly with a water brush.
