Pearlescent solution for ink
KAKIMORI pearlescent additive to mix with your Inkstand inks, in a bottle 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 adds a subtle shimmer, perfect for accentuating your everyday colors. It is just as spectacular on black paper as it is on white paper.
To use it, simply add the solution to your mixed base color, as you would with the diluting solution. As the pearlescent particles tend to separate easily, be sure to stir well each time you add it.
Create your perfect shimmer by gradually adding the solution and testing as you go. For an 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 only for dip pens. Avoid using it with fountain pens and rollerballs, as it may cause clogging.
Shake the bottle well before use to redistribute any pearlescent particles that may have settled at the bottom.
Combined with the Inkstand color range, as well as the diluting and pearlescent solutions, it opens up an infinite world of creative possibilities for ink. Whether you are writing or illustrating, enjoy limitless expression with these two unique additives.

Use & Care
The pearlescent particles may settle or separate. Shake well before each use to distribute them evenly throughout the ink.
When mixing, do not exceed the amount of ink being used.
During prolonged use, stir regularly to prevent the 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.
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.
