Right when it feels like fountain pen inks are getting more and more sheeny and shimmering and intense,from Kyoto, Japan bring us their beautifully naturalistic Kyo no Oto ink series.

#1 Nurebairo is a rich black that I almost don't want to describe for you, it's oddly chameleonic in its shading and tones. If you've given up on black inks, this may be the one for you.

EachKyo no Oto ink is available in a 40ml glass bottle.
