Kyo-no-Oto No. 11 Ruriiro from Kyoto TAG brings a refined lapis blue to daily notes and thoughtful correspondence. Inspired by traditional Japanese color sensibilities, this understated hue offers a calm, cultivated presence on the page without sacrificing clarity.
Color & Character
Ruriiro presents a soft lapis tone with a subtle, slightly muted cast that reads beautifully on both white and cream papers. Its gentle shading adds depth to letterforms and sketches, lending character to everything from planner entries to longer journal pages.
Writing Experience
This water-based dye ink is formulated for clean, consistent flow in modern fountain pens. Fine nibs deliver crisp, legible lines, while broader and stub nibs reveal nuanced shading. Dry times vary with paper, but the ink behaves reliably on quality stationery and cleans up easily when changing colors.
