Sale price$25.00 USD

In stock

Benizakura is a captivating shade of crimson with a subtle hint of purple, inspired by the traditional kimono color scheme where the outer fabric is dyed in red while the lining is tinged with purple. This refined color carries the elegance of historical Japanese fashion, creating a vivid yet sophisticated tone that enhances any writing experience. The ink flows smoothly, revealing delicate shading that brings warmth and depth to each stroke.

The packaging features one of Kitagawa Utamaro’s most celebrated works, portraying a popular town maiden of the Edo period, dressed in a striking red checkered kimono. She is depicted blowing a vidro (glass toy), a popular amusement of the time. Utamaro’s attention to detail and expressive artistry perfectly complement the bold yet graceful nature of Benizakura, evoking the charm of Japan’s artistic and cultural heritage.

Formulated for exceptional performance in fountain pens, this ink glides effortlessly on paper, enhancing the beauty of handwritten text. It is also well-suited for glass dip pens, which do not require a specific ink type, allowing for effortless exploration of Benizakura’s rich hues. The 40ml glass bottle captures the depth and vibrancy of this exquisite shade, making it a standout addition to any collection of Japanese stationery.

For those who admire the fusion of Japanese tradition, fashion, and artistry, Benizakura brings a timeless elegance to the art of writing.
