Ink Review
"As in other fountain pen ink reviews. I have no issues this far with the ink itself or the packaging. It’s the amount in the bottle. You could refill an ink cartridge full with the ink not provided."







Add a touch of timeless elegance to your writing with Modern Red fountain pen ink from the Taisho Romance series by Teranishi Chemical Industry. This cardinal red is rich and mature rather than bright or flashy—toned down just enough to avoid overwhelming the page while still offering eye-catching warmth. Its depth brings gentle complexity, shifting sometimes toward orange-brown depending on paper type. A writer’s red that stands out gracefully.
With a smooth, moderately wet flow and respectable drying times, Modern Red works comfortably in a range of fountain pens and on various papers. It offers soft shading without extreme contrasts, making it both expressive and easy on the eyes—perfect for journaling, letters, or creative writing. A refined choice for fans of Japanese stationery.
Released in 2021 to commemorate Teranishi’s 105th anniversary, the Taisho Romance fountain pen ink collection captures the nostalgic elegance of a bygone era in sixteen thoughtfully curated tones, all crafted with the refined artistry of Japanese ink making. Each bottle includes a swatch tag for convenient color sampling.
Since its inception in Osaka in 1916, the Teranishi Chemical Industry has colored the world for over a hundred years, aiming to enrich cultural lifestyles. Their 'Magic Ink,' an iconic oil-based marker, has become a staple in Japan, seamlessly integrating into daily activities. Catering to a community passionate about fountain and glass pens, Teranishi continues to impress with inks that stationery lovers adore.
