Kyo-no-oto Aonibi No.05 is a beautifully muted blue-grey inspired by the quiet beauty of Kyoto beneath a moonlit sky. A delicate blend of blue and grey gives this understated shade a soft, atmospheric quality, making it an elegant alternative to traditional blue or black ink.
The name Aonibi refers to a traditional Japanese colour created by adding indigo to a pale, subdued ink. Its inspiration is the image of the moon floating in the night sky above Kyoto, capturing the stillness and cool, refined atmosphere of the city after dark.
Part of the Kyo-no-oto range from Tag Stationery in Kyoto, these inks reinterpret traditional Japanese colours, drawing inspiration from Kyoto’s long history of dyeing and colour-making.
As a dye-based ink, Aonibi is water-soluble and can create subtle variations in colour as it spreads across the paper. Its gentle shading adds depth to the soft blue-grey tone, making it particularly appealing for everyday writing, journalling, lettering and illustration.
The ink can be used with fountain pens, dip pens, glass pens and brushes, making it a versatile choice for both writing and creative work.
