Tag Stationery Kyo-iro Ink | Cherry Blossoms In Keage

Every spring, the historic Keage Incline in Kyoto becomes a memorable sight as Somei Yoshino cherry trees bloom along the old railway tracks. Their branches form a canopy of blossoms overhead, while fallen petals gather across the rails, creating a scene that captures the fleeting beauty of Japan's cherry blossom season.

TAG STATIONERY's Cherry Blossoms in Keage brings this seasonal inspiration into its Kyo-iro ink collection. Developed in collaboration with the Kyoto Plant Dyeing Research Institute, the collection reinterprets traditional Japanese colors through modern ink-making techniques.

The dye-based formula can produce natural variations in tone, allowing lighter and darker areas to emerge as you write. Because the ink is water-soluble, you can also experiment with a water brush to soften lines, spread color, and create watercolor-inspired effects. Use it for everyday writing, journal entries, handwritten correspondence, or creative ink illustrations.
