During the Heian Period, there was a color that was not allowed to use except for certain social statuses such as royalty. Safflower red was one of those colors because of its preciousness. 'YURUSHIIRO' means 'allowed color' for everybody. 'YURUSHIIRO is a much lighter version of Safflower red. The ink color shade was allowed for every person and was often used for daily life during the Heian period (794-1185).
Inky imports are our favourite, and especially when they're from Japan- these inks are crafted in small batches and honour traditional ink making techniques.
This particular Kyo No Oto ink is a pigment ink. We recommend shaking the bottle before filling a pen with it as pigments may settle in the bottle over time.
