Kyo Iro Ink: Moonlight of Higashiyama

This rich Terra Cotta ink from the Kyo-Iro line of inks is called Moonlight of Higashiyama, inspired by the Higashiyama district of Kyoto, Japan. Higashiyama, which means “east mountain,” is known for tradition, creation, culture, and comfort. This auburn-brown hue is based off of the historic Kyoto-style wooden buildings called 'Machiya'. The Kyo-Iro inks are excellent for fountain pens and dip pens, as well as other ink media. Because the inks are produced in small batches, the color may vary slightly from one bottle to another. 

Each bottle holds 40ml


Kyo-Iro is a line of inks made in small batches that are a collaboration between the Kusakizome Lab and TAG Stationery in Kyoto, Japan. Kusakisome refers to a traditional dyeing technique that is often used for dyeing textiles like kimonos. The inks are inspired by famous places in Kyoto and celebrate its rich history and profound culture.
