Kyoto Ink Kyo No Oto Limited Edition Fountain Pen Ink 40ml – Uguisu-iro
Uguisu-iro is named for the Japanese bush warbler — the bird heard at the end of winter before it is seen. The colour is its plumage: a yellow-tinged green with earth underneath it, quieter than a leaf green and considerably more interesting.
A dye-based ink that flows smoothly and holds its colour evenly across a page. It suits writing you will read again — a journal, a letter, notes you care about — more than it suits a shopping list. 40ml in a glass bottle. A limited edition.

Trade notes
Traditional Japanese colour names are the whole proposition with Kyo No Oto — print the meaning on the shelf edge and the ink sells itself. Limited edition, so treat the allocation as finite and do not promise repeats. Fountain pen customers buy inks in threes; carry both this and Hisui.
