Nagasawa Kobe Ink Special: Nakahara Pure Blue

Description

Founded in 1882 in Kobe, Japan, Nagasawa is a heritage stationery company known for writing tools and inks that celebrate local culture. 

The Kobe INK Special Colour series is a collection of fountain pen inks that go beyond the standard Monogatari line. These are released as limited editions or collaborations (e.g. with local landmarks, institutions, or cultural elements). They often carry deeper thematic significance. Across the line, the inks tend to emphasise a balance of aesthetic expressiveness (shading, occasional sheening) while remaining suitable for daily writing.

A collaboration between Kobe INK and artist Junichi Nakahara, Pure Blue draws from the blue used in one of his paintings (notably a girl’s hat). It is a classic medium blue with average flow, moderate shading, and some pink sheen in large pools.

Capacity: 50ml
