Tag Stationery Kyo No Oto Moegiiro No. 8 Fountain Pen Ink - 40 ml Bottle
Kyo No Oto translates to "sounds of Kyoto". "Kyo no Oto" is a series of writing inks that reproduce traditional Japanese colors used since the Heian period using modern techniques and interpretations. Each color has a unique name and story.
Moegiiro refers to the yellow-green color of young leaves that sprout in early spring. It is said to be a color that symbolizes youth, and was touted as the color of young people during the Heian period.
This dye ink was independently developed by the Kyoto Vegetable Dye Research Institute, which is made up of dyeing and weaving experts, and TAG STATIONERY.
Because dye ink is soluble in water, it can be used for a variety of expressions, such as “blur'' or thinly stretching the color with a water brush after writing with ink.
Kyo No Oto inks are on the drier side. If you prefer more lubricated inks check out Pilot Iroshizuku Inks.
