Pigment Ink

This elegant ink bottle was designed to look like a droplet of liquid glass. The bottle is primarily made of recycled sake bottles and contains a newly developed water-based ink that doesn’t run when wet and that also doesn’t fade easily. The bottle features a 2 cm wide opening tilted at 8 degrees allowing pen nibs to be easily dipped into the ink.

Chūbu

The central Chūbu region is predominantly mountainous, home to the rugged Japan Alps with coasts on both the Sea of Japan and the Pacific Ocean. The region's history has been shaped by its strategic position between the great cities of Kyoto and Tokyo with Nagoya at its heart. Niigata lies to the north while Mt Fuji can be found in the south in Shizuoka Prefecture.
