Sale price$25.00 USD

In stock

Usuzumi captures the essence of traditional Japanese ink, inspired by the delicate tones of diluted sumi ink used in calligraphy. This soft, muted black reflects the subtle beauty of Japanese brushwork, where depth and nuance emerge through careful control of ink and water. The gentle shading of Usuzumi brings an elegant touch to writing, making each stroke feel refined and expressive.

The packaging features one of the most famous works by Kitagawa Utamaro, depicting celebrated beauties of the Edo period. Known for his mastery in portraying feminine grace, Utamaro’s art complements the ink’s understated sophistication, evoking a sense of classical Japanese aesthetics.

Formulated for smooth flow and balanced shading, this fountain pen ink enhances the writing experience, offering a depth of expression that echoes the artistry of Japanese calligraphy. It is also well-suited for glass dip pens, which do not require a specific ink type, making it easy to appreciate the refined tones of Usuzumi. The 40ml glass bottle adds to its charm, allowing you to admire the ink’s soft black hue before it reaches the page.

For those who appreciate Japanese stationery and the art of ink, Usuzumi is a bridge to the world of traditional craftsmanship, bringing the spirit of calligraphy into everyday writing.
