Kakimori Colour Specimen Ink 35ml – Seasonal Fountain Pen Ink

Colour, as it turns out, is often found in the smallest of moments—a passing sky, a fleeting shadow, a detail half-noticed. The Kakimori Colour Specimen series captures such impressions and bottles them, rather thoughtfully, for everyday use.

Each ink is part of a seasonal palette curated by the Kakimori team, offering shades that feel considered rather than conventional. There’s a quiet subtlety to them—never brash, always expressive—making them particularly suited to writing, sketching, or simply enjoying the act of putting pen to paper.

Housed in a compact glass bottle, it sits neatly on the desk, ready to accompany your thoughts with a touch of colour that feels both personal and quietly distinctive.

Sweet vegetables – “Seen or tasted, yellow vegetables lift the spirits. A colour that nourishes both body and soul.”

Awash with green – “Lush leaves bursting with life. A colour that captures the vitality of early summer.”

Sands of the Sahara Desert – “Sand from the Sahara Desert, brought back from a trip to Morocco. An exotic shade of red brown.”

Blue from the lighthouse – “The bright blue sky and sea, seen from a lighthouse on the cape.”

The rustle of bamboo leaves – “Tanabata decorations seen from my father’s shoulders. The green of bamboo leaves from childhood.”

Breeze by the sunlit window – “The breeze by the window gently lulls us to sleep, ushering in dreams of blue skies, sea and flowers.”

Joyful thread – “A thread for the warmer seasons. Just thinking about what to make brings feelings of joy.”

Crafts from the island of sheep – “A 1955 craft exhibition catalogue, found on a remote Swedish island. A shade that evokes the memory of an era.”
