Kyo-no-oto Ruri-iro No.11 is a vivid, deep blue with rich violet undertones and delicate shimmering particles. The combination of its striking blue colour and subtle shimmer creates a captivating effect as the ink catches the light.
The name Ruri-iro refers to the colour of lapis lazuli, a precious gemstone traditionally regarded as one of the Seven Treasures of Buddhism. Its deep, jewel-like blue was considered sacred, making it a particularly meaningful colour in Japanese tradition.
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.
Ruri-iro is particularly suited to glass dip pens, dip pens and brushes, allowing the shimmer to be fully appreciated. Try it with one of our Teranishi glass dip pens for colourful writing, lettering and illustration with a little extra sparkle.

Please note: Due to the shimmer particles, this ink is not recommended for use in fountain pens. The particles can settle in the bottle and may cause clogging, particularly in pens with fine feeds. Always shake the bottle well before use and clean your dip pen or brush thoroughly after use. Colour and shimmer may vary slightly depending on the paper, lighting and screen used.
