Explore the colours of traditional Japanese woodblock prints with the Taccia Ukiyo-e Hokusai Ink Set. Inspired by the celebrated artwork of Katsushika Hokusai, this beautiful collection brings together four distinctive shades drawn from the landscapes and colours of his iconic prints.
The set includes four 12ml glass bottles, each capturing a different part of Hokusai's artistic palette:
-
Hokusai Benitsuchi: A warm, earthy red-brown inspired by the distinctive red tones of "Fine Wind, Clear Morning" often known as Red Fuji.
-
Hokusai Koiai: A deep, saturated indigo blue inspired by the powerful waves in "The Great Wave off Kanagawa"
-
Hokusai Sabimidori: A rich, nuanced green inspired by the traditional colours of Japanese prints.
-
Hokusai Fukakihanada: A soft, clear blue reminiscent of the skies and waters in Hokusai's landscapes.
The Ukiyo-e collection has been developed in Japan with the expertise of stationery specialists and the supervision of a Japanese colour consultant, carefully recreating the subtle and distinctive colours found in traditional Japanese prints.
Each ink is a water-based dye ink, suitable for fountain pens and glass dip pens. The four smaller bottles offer a wonderful opportunity to experiment with different colours, making this set an excellent introduction to the Taccia Ukiyo-e range or a thoughtful gift for anyone who enjoys Japanese stationery and fine writing.
Presented in a beautifully designed box featuring Hokusai-inspired artwork, the set makes an attractive addition to any ink collection.
