Frequently bought together
KAKIMORI pigment ink in the 09 Mukuri edition, a warm red-ochre shade inspired by a Japanese onomatopoeia evoking awakening. Water-resistant, compatible with fountain pens, dip pens, and rollerballs, presented in a glass bottle shaped like a frozen drop, with a sakura wood cap.
09 MUKURI - Pigment ink by Kakimori, Tokyo, Japan.
"Mukuri describes the state of awakening, like a bear emerging from hibernation and discovering warm red earth. This color heralds the arrival of a new season." The names given to the inks are inspired by Japanese onomatopoeia and the imagery they evoke.
Innovative pigments have been developed to minimize clogging in nibs while remaining water-resistant. These inks can be used with dip pens, fountain pens, and rollerballs, allowing you to fully enjoy the pleasure of writing and drawing.
The evocative shape of the bottle resembles a molten glass drop that has solidified. Filling the bottles with ink creates the illusion of two elements becoming one. The stable base helps prevent the ink from being spilled.
Once dry, these pigment inks are resistant to water and fading. They have been developed so that your special messages can stand the test of time.
The wide 2 cm opening with an 8° incline makes dipping easier and helps prevent the risk of damaging delicate nibs. The reduced depth allows for effortless refilling and helps keep your pens clean.
The design of the bottle and writing accessories was carefully entrusted to Japanese designer Makoto Koizumi. Imagined as pieces of furniture to be cherished, the various materials were crafted by Japanese artisans.

KAKIMORI EXPERTISE
What makes these objects unique
Inks with bold colors
Kakimori inks are pigmented: dense colors that sit on the paper and stay there, without bleeding through the page.
Metal feathers, regular stroke
Stainless steel or brass nibs provide a smooth and consistent line, and can be cleaned with a simple gesture.
Carefully selected paper
Notebooks, envelopes, and letter papers are selected for their feel and ink durability.
Partner workshops
Wooden pen holders and pen rests are entrusted to specialized Japanese makers, such as Nakamura Woodworks and Arai Woodworks.
A craftsman’s district
Kuramae, between workshops and shops, is the birthplace of the brand. It is where everything is designed and tested.
Since 2010
A brand founded in 2010 in Kuramae, now an address that writing lovers visit in Tokyo.
