Description:

Taccia Ukiyo-e inks are an hommage to the Ukiyo-e art and famous Ukiyo-e artists such as Hiroshige, Hokusai, Sharaku, Utumaru, and others. The packaging of each color carries a picture of the artwork it is referring to.

Ukiyo-e colors are delicate and difficult to express in a single word. Creating these colors was taken seriously because Ukiyo-e belongs to Japan's cultural inheritance. Taccia Ukiyo-e inks are produced in Japan and composed by Hiroshi Ishizu, an ink sommelier. Hanae Matsumoto, a color consultant, supervised all colors.

Ukiyo-e is an artistic movement established in the Edo period (17th-18th). Japanese woodblock prints, featuring daily lifestyle, trend, and play by the people of the time, are very famous. It is characterized by clear designs, bold compositions, and a lack of shade. In addition to landscape portraits, ukiyo-e also featured geishas, sumo wrestlers, and kabuki actors.

This is my favourite ink. What can I say, it has it all! Perfect colour which is also work-appropriate, discreet sheen that can go up to being realllly nice and noticeable depending on paper (but doesn't smudge). On some paper, it's more blue-ish, on others, more green-ish. It's got more water resistance than I expected, too, but it's not waterproof (few inks are). The shading is great but not extreme, and sits really well on whatever paper I use. I find that the flow adapts to the pen one uses, but I quickly found which pen I wanted to use it in and I've used it daily in that ever since...

I first received a little sample from Sakura Fountainpen Gallery, and very nearly immediately ordered a full bottle. As with all orders, it came safely packaged, and with a lovely little gift wrap ribbon and all! Felt like receiving a lovely gift.
