Taccia Ukiyo-e Hokusai Koiai is a deep, rich indigo blue inspired by the powerful colours of traditional Japanese woodblock prints. With its dark navy tones, this is a distinctive blue ink with plenty of depth and character.
The name Koiai refers to a deep indigo colour, and this particular shade takes its inspiration from the dramatic stormy sea depicted in Katsushika Hokusai’s famous woodblock print, "The Great Wave off Kanagawa". Part of the Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji series, this iconic image provides the perfect inspiration for an ink that captures the intensity and movement of the ocean.
The Hokusai collection forms part of Taccia’s Ukiyo-e range, which recreates the subtle and distinctive colours found in traditional Japanese woodblock prints. Each shade has been developed in Japan with the guidance of a colour consultant, bringing the palette of ukiyo-e art into everyday writing.
Made in Japan, this water-based dye ink is suitable for fountain pens and offers a wonderful way to bring a little of Hokusai’s artistic world to your writing.
Please note that dye inks are not water-resistant and may bleed or wash away if they come into contact with water. Colour may also vary slightly depending on the paper, lighting and screen used.
