Taccia Ukiyo-e Hokusai Benitsuchi is a rich, earthy red-brown inspired by the traditional colours of Japanese woodblock prints. Translating as “Red Soil”, this warm, distinctive shade combines deep brick-red tones with subtle orange undertones, creating a beautifully aged, terracotta-like appearance.
Part of Taccia’s Ukiyo-e collection, the Hokusai series celebrates the work of Katsushika Hokusai, one of Japan’s most celebrated ukiyo-e artists. Known for his iconic landscapes, including the famous "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji", Hokusai’s artwork provides the inspiration for this collection of carefully considered ink colours. The Benitsuchi packaging features artwork from his Red Fuji print.
The ink has a lovely depth of colour, with gentle shading that brings variation to writing and illustrations. On some papers, darker areas may also reveal a subtle sheen, adding further character to this warm red-brown shade.
Made in Japan, Taccia Ukiyo-e inks are developed by stationery specialists and colour consultants, drawing on the distinctive palette of traditional Japanese art.
