Ukiyo-e Sharaku-akasakura Fountain Pen Ink

Sale price$25.00 USD

In stock

Akasakura is a traditional Japanese color, a deep reddish hue with subtle undertones of purple, inspired by the kimono color in the ukiyo-e artwork featured on its packaging. This rich, dramatic shade reflects the bold elegance of Edo-period theater, with smooth ink flow and natural shading that adds depth to every stroke.

The packaging showcases an iconic ukiyo-e portrait by Sharaku, depicting a kabuki actor in a striking red costume. The intense color of his kimono directly inspired Akasakura, creating a strong connection between traditional Japanese art and ink.

Designed for fountain pens, Akasakura glides effortlessly on paper, offering a beautifully expressive writing experience. It is also well-suited for glass dip pens, allowing users to explore its nuanced tones without ink compatibility concerns. The 40ml glass bottle enhances its presence, making it a distinctive addition to any Japanese stationery collection.

For those who appreciate Japanese aesthetics and ukiyo-e, Akasakura brings a touch of theatrical elegance to every stroke.
