Experience the depth and subtlety of traditional Japanese safflower-dye heritage with Kyo-no-oto No. 6, Adzuki-iro, crafted by Takeda Jimuki (TAG) in Kyoto. This refined burgundy ink, whose name literally means “adzuki bean color”, captures warmth, richness, and timeless elegance, all in one bottle.

Key Characteristics & Performance

  • Distinctive Burgundy Hue: A sophisticated wine-red with earthy undertones, deep yet inviting, evoking the classic tone of adzuki beans.

  • Flow & Dry Time: It offers a dry-to-average flow and dries in approximately 40 seconds using a medium nib on Rhodia paper, especially suited for fine nib pens or drier feeds.

  • Shading & Sheen: Medium shading brings writing and sketches to life, while occasional low black sheen adds a subtle, sophisticated dimension.

  • Ink Type: Dye-based fountain pen ink, archival-safe in appearance though not waterproof.

  • Production & Origin: Handcrafted in Kyoto using traditional dye techniques for the TAG stationery store, it’s produced in small batches and may show slight variation between bottles.
