Kyoto Ink Kyo No Oto Limited Edition Fountain Pen Ink – Hisui (40ml)
Description
Hisui is an ink that glows rather than shouts. Inspired by the luminous beauty of jade, this limited edition release from Kyoto Ink captures a colour long associated with elegance, good fortune, and quiet refinement in Japanese culture.
The name Hisui originates from the kingfisher, a bird admired for its shimmering blue-green feathers. During Japan’s Heian period, this hue was considered auspicious, symbolising purity and prosperity, before later lending its name to the jade gemstone itself—prized for its soft, translucent glow. This ink echoes that heritage with a blue-green tone that feels calm, luminous, and deeply considered.
