Pearlescent solution for ink
KAKIMORI pearlescent additive to mix with your Inkstand inks, designed by Makoto Koizumi. Adds a subtle shimmer on both white and black paper, used gradually by stirring before each addition to homogenize the particles.
Pearlescent Solution
This ink additive provides a subtle shimmer, perfect for enhancing your everyday colors. It looks just as spectacular on black paper as on white paper.
To use, simply add the solution to your mixed base color, just as you would with the diluting solution. Since the pearlescent particles tend to separate easily, be sure to stir well with each addition.
Create your perfect shimmer by gradually adding the solution and testing as you go. For optimal writing experience, do not exceed the initial amount of base ink.
The appearance of the shimmer varies depending on the amount of pearlescent solution and the ink colors used. Feel free to experiment with the ratio to achieve the desired effect. It can also be combined with the diluting solution to create a soft, pale pearlescent ink.
Before use
The pearlescent solution is designed exclusively for dip pens. Avoid using it with fountain pens and rollerballs, as it may cause clogging.
Shake the bottle well before use to distribute any pearlescent particles that may have settled at the bottom.
When paired with the Inkstand color range, as well as the diluting and pearlescent solutions, it opens up an infinite universe of creative possibilities for ink. Whether you are writing or illustrating, enjoy unlimited expression with these two unique additives.

Usage & Entretien
Pearlescent particles may settle or separate. Shake well before each use to distribute them evenly in the ink.

During prolonged use, stir regularly to prevent particles from settling.
Rinse the nib thoroughly after use. If pearlescent residue remains, gently scrub with a soft toothbrush and water.
Born in Kuramae, the craftsmen's district
Since 2010, Kakimori has inspired writing from Kuramae, a workshop district in Tokyo. Inks with vibrant colors, metal nibs, carefully selected papers: each item is designed to make the act of writing simple and precious, every day.
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.
Hand-finished
Caps, pen holders, and pen rests go through the workshop for a smooth and precise finish.
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 young brand that has made a name for itself among writing enthusiasts, in Tokyo as well as in Paris.
