The shading shifts gently between cool gray and warm plum undertones, producing a quietly changing tone with each stroke. Made in Japan as part of the TACCIA Ukiyo-e collection, this ink flows smoothly in both fountain pens and glass dip pens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBudounezu is a classic Edo-period color born from the late Tokugawa government’s restrictions on bright clothing for commoners. In response, townspeople developed an extraordinary range of subtle grays known as hyaku-nezu (“the hundred grays”), paired with the equally famous shijuhachi-cha (“the forty-eight browns”). Budounezu, with its plum undertone over a cool gray base, became one of the most refined of these hues. The box features Utagawa Kuniyoshi’s “The Origin of the Cat Stone from the Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido” (見立東海道五拾三次 猫石の由来, c.1845), a striking print depicting an old woman who is secretly a bakeneko (a shape-shifting cat-spirit), revealed by the giant cat shadow looming behind her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the writing sample, the filled wash was painted with a brush and the linework was made with a glass pen, both on \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(18, 102, 56);\"\u003e\u003ca style=\"color: rgb(18, 102, 56);\" title=\"YU-SARI Fountain Pen Notebook\" href=\"https:\/\/komorebistationery.com\/products\/yu-sari-fountain-pen-notebook\"\u003eYU-SARI Fountain Pen Notebook\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e.
