Lapis lazuli is a vivid blue colour with a deep purple hue. Originally, lapis lazuli was a gemstone produced on Mount Sumeru, which stands at the centre of the Buddhist world, and is one of the seven treasures of Buddhism. Lapis lazuli, named after the colour of this gemstone, was also regarded as the supreme colour and sacred.
TAG Stationery's Kyo No Oto Collection focuses on the Sounds of Kyoto, these writing inks that recreate traditional Japanese colours used since the Heian period with modern techniques and interpretations. Each colour has its own unique name and story.
This dye ink was developed exclusively by TAG STATIONERY in collaboration with the Kyoto Plant Dyeing Laboratory, a group of dyeing and weaving experts.
