meiji no iro - shimbashi-iro

Shimbashi-iro is a bright bluish-green fountain pen ink from Kuretake's Meiji No Iro collection, inspired by colors popular among Geishas in Tokyo's Shimbashi district during the late Meiji era. It features a wet flow and thick, rich consistency that provides smooth writing and good opacity, though it has longer dry times on Japanese paper. This ink is ideal for users seeking vibrant, saturated colors with historical Japanese aesthetics for everyday writing and artistic applications.
