What is Your Ideal Color? You Can Create Your Original Color Ink -“Inkstand by Kakimori”

Because we have less chance to write letters and postcards by hand, we would like to be particular about the tools for it. The “Inkstand by Kakimori” that we introduce has been a hot topic because you can make the ink used in fountain pens and glass pens in your favorite color. The work of closing your perfect color through trial and error will make you forget about the time. You can feel the fun of writing because it is your own original color that you made yourself.

“Inkstand by Kakimori”, where you can make original colors such as your own color, look good on an important person and colors inspired by a fun trip. In the workshop, you choose 2 or 3 colors from the 17 base colors and closer to the color of your image. It seems difficult because the expression changes every time you add one drop, but the staff have always been very supportive. In addition, there are a ‘display of color specimens’ collected and curated to inspire each season, so please check it out. All of them are beautiful and helpful because they are made by color professionals.

After finishing the work in about 45 minutes, the staff makes ink in about an hour based on the ratio. In the meantime, you can enjoy shopping at the shop or going out. If people have no time, it is available to ship that out later. We are sure that you feel like writing soon with your own ink when it’s completed. It’s might be a good idea to write a letter to someone important or create a lot of color patterns, and keep a diary in a color that matches your mood at that time. You will want to face the act of “writing” seriously.
