It is a milky reddish brown, coffee already softened with milk rather than an espresso brown, and the quietest color in the set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the pigment sits on the surface of the paper instead of soaking into the fibers, the color reads the same on white, kraft and black stock. There is no shading and no sheen here, and that is the point. You get one flat, even color, and pale shades stay legible where a dye ink of the same tone would sink into the page and fade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe eight colors make up Yumemiru Modern Girl, or Dreaming Modern Girl, a line within Teranishi’s Taisho Romance Haikara Ink series. Haikara is period slang taken from the English words high collar, used from the Meiji years onward for anything stylishly Western, and moga were the young women of 1920s Japan who cut their hair short and wore Western dress. Teranishi built the palette around what those women were looking toward, describing the colors as a longing for a distant future and colors not yet seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur swatch was written with a glass dip pen on \u003ca title=\"YU-SARI Fountain Pen Notebook\" href=\"https:\/\/komorebistationery.com\/products\/yu-sari-fountain-pen-notebook\" style=\"color: rgb(18, 102, 56);\"\u003eYU-SARI Fountain Pen Notebook\u003c\/a\u003e paper.
