Kakimori Pigment Ink

Discover Kakimori's Pigment Inks—a collection of rich, expressive colors designed for Kakimori rollerballs, fountain pens, and dip pens.

Created in collaboration with Turner Colour Works, these pigment inks are expertly formulated to flow smoothly while minimizing the risk of buildup and clogging in the pen. Available in a range of colors inspired by nature, they are water- and fade-resistant once dry, offering more permanence than traditional dye. 

Kakimori's ink bottles are shaped like droplets, drawing inspiration from potari, a Japanese word for a falling drop. The generous 20mm opening with an 8-degree angle makes dipping easy without damaging delicate nibs. The shallow depth allows for effortless refilling of converters, and helps to keep your pen clean from unwanted ink.

Po:  A vibrant, brilliant red. "A color tucked away in our hearts. Po is the way we blush when falling in love; the warmth of a face admired from afar."

Torori:  A muted, golden ochre. "A perfect omelette reveals its deliciously soft centre. Torori is the color of anticipation, describing a rich consistency overflowing with flavor."

Tototo:  A rich mulberry wine. "Tototo is the gentle melody of a special rosé poured in quiet company. A color to elevate everyday life or celebrate a special occasion."

Kurun:  A calm leafy green. "Kurun depicts the dance of a vine’s curling tendrils. A green that captures both vitality and a sense of calm."

Toppuri:  Deep, classic blue. "Look closely and you might see the stars in the night sky. Toppuri describes the comforting darkness that arrives after nightfall. A gentle color that inspires reflection." 

Murkuri:  A warm, welcoming brown. "Mukuri describes the state of awakening, like a bear emerging from hibernation to the warm red earth. The colour signals the arrival of a new season."

Koton:  A quiet, tried and true black. "The silence of the night is punctuated by koton, the sound of an ink bottle being placed on the desk. A colour for quiet contemplation."
