Tag Stationery Kyo No Oto Ink No. 2 | Safflower Red | Imayo Iro
Step into the rich tapestry of Japan’s Heian era with Kyo-no-oto No. 2, Imayou-iro, a luminous safflower red ink inspired by traditional Japanese dye practices and crafted by TAG Stationery in Kyoto. Its hue evokes delicate crimson petals, offering a sophisticated pop of color that stands out with refined subtlety.
Imayou-iro appears as a bright, cherry-poppy pink with rich magenta undertones, vibrant yet elegant. It features a lightly dry flow and a crisp writing feel, complemented by minimal shading. When applied in heavier swatches, the ink reveals a warm brown sheen, adding layers of dimension to artistic or formal writing.
