Masterpieces in Miniature: Taccia Ukiyo-e Hokusai Mini Ink Set
Immerse yourself in the breathtaking landscapes of 19th-century Japan with the Taccia Ukiyo-e Hokusai Mini Ink Set. This curated collection features four distinctive colors inspired by the woodblock prints of the legendary artist Katsushika Hokusai. Taccia, a division of the Nakabayashi group, collaborated with professional Japanese color consultants to extract the exact hues used in the iconic "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" series, translating them into high-performance fountain pen inks.
The Mini Bottle Set is the perfect entry point for collectors, offering a versatile palette of water-soluble, dye-based inks in charming, travel-friendly 12ml bottles.
✨ Signature Features: The Hokusai Palette
This set provides a balanced spectrum of colors that transition beautifully from the page to the mind, each representing a specific element of Hokusai's masterpieces.
-
Mini 12ml Glass Bottles: A departure from the standard 40ml bottles, these miniatures allow you to explore the full Hokusai collection without a large investment. They are perfect for travel or for those who enjoy rotating their ink colors frequently.
-
Expertly Supervised Colors: Every shade was developed under the supervision of Japanese stationery experts to ensure historical accuracy and superior behavior in all fountain pen types.
-
High-Shading Dynamics: These dye-based inks are celebrated for their "shading"—the ability to transition from light to dark within a single stroke—adding a three-dimensional, artistic quality to your handwriting.
-
The Four Seasonal Tones:
-
Hokusai-Benitsuchi (Red Soil): A warm, rusty brown-red inspired by "Fine Wind, Clear Morning" (Red Fuji).
-
Hokusai-Koiai (Dark Indigo): A deep, saturated navy blue with a hidden pink sheen, reflecting the power of "The Great Wave off Kanagawa."
-
Hokusai-Sabimidori (Rust Green): A chameleonic teal that goes on blue and dries to a sophisticated forest green with a bronze sheen.
-
Hokusai-Fukakihanada (Deep Blue): A serene, dusty light blue that captures the atmospheric sky of Hokusai’s mountain vistas.
-
🖋️ Why the Hokusai Set is a Stationery Essential
The Ukiyo-e series bridges the gap between historical art and modern utility:
-
Artistic Synergy: The inks are designed to be used together. The cool blues of Koiai and Fukakihanada provide a perfect contrast to the earthy warmth of Benitsuchi.
-
Safe and Well-Behaved: Formulated with non-toxic, water-soluble dyes, these inks provide excellent flow and lubrication, making them safe for vintage and high-end modern pens alike.
-
The Perfect Gift: Packaged in a beautiful box featuring Hokusai's artwork, this set is a thoughtful gift for artists, historians, and fountain pen enthusiasts.

The Enthusiast’s Note: "Sabimidori is the absolute standout here. Watching it change from a bright blue to a dusty teal as it dries is like watching a sunset on paper. The 12ml bottles are so cute, they look like little gems sitting on my desk."
