Azuki-iro refers to the purple-tinged reddish brown colour of red beans. Red has long been used as a colour of prayer, and red rice made with azuki beans is an indispensable item for celebrations and events.
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.
