Teranishi Guitar Taisho Roman Haikara Fountain Pen Ink
Description
Since 1916, Teranishi Chemical Industry’s Guitar Ink brand has been part of Japan’s writing culture, cherished by generations. The Taisho Roman Haikara Ink collection draws inspiration from the Taisho era (1912–1926) – a transitional period between tradition and modernity, rich with artistic dreams and cultural change.
Each bottle captures this spirit in a carefully crafted, dye-based ink, produced in Japan under strict quality control. The 16 colours are full of poetic warmth and nostalgic depth, with each bottle carrying a swatch tag so you can see exactly how your chosen shade will appear on the page.
