TAG Stationery inks are something special: this company from Kyoto, the stronghold of Japanese arts and crafts, combines tradition and modernity. Colors, which are known for centuries and are provided with appropriate meaning, are mixed here to a high-quality ink. All the colors in the Kyo no oto series were also used in this way in traditional woodblock printing in Japan.

The azuki bean has a very nice dark red color. The Azuki bean is used in many ways in Japanese cuisine, from red rice with red beans to the famous cakes with a red bean filling.
