“Kyoto no Oto” is a series of writing inks that recreate traditional Japanese colors used since the Heian period with modern techniques and interpretations. Each color has its own unique name and story.

This dye ink was developed exclusively by TAG STATIONERY in collaboration with the Kyoto Plant Dyeing Laboratory, a group of dyeing and weaving experts.

This is a distinctive ink that takes advantage of the bleeding characteristic of dyes to create a gradation of light and dark shades.

Because dye ink dissolves in water, you can use it to write with the ink and then use a water brush to blur or thin the color, allowing you to create a variety of different expressions.

Kyoto Plant Dyeing Research InstituteWe conduct research on dyeing and weaving culture both in Japan and abroad, ranging from traditional Japanese dyeing, textiles, and kimonos, as well as related customs, techniques, and the hobby of plant dyeing, to modern dyeing and weaving arts and crafts, and fiber art, a form of artistic expression using fibers.
