Hisui (jade) is named after the kingfisher (hisui-dori) that dances by the water. Due to the beauty reminiscent of its blue-green feathers, the mineral with the same color was also called "Hisui-gyoku" and became known as a gemstone. In the Heian period, it was considered a lucky color, symbolizing purity and prosperity.

【About Kyo-no-oto series】
"Kyo-no-oto" is a series of writing inks that recreates traditional Japanese colors used since the Heian period with modern techniques and interpretations. Each color features a unique name and story.
These are dye-based inks developed by TAG STATIONERY in collaboration with the "Kyoto Plant-Dyeing Research Institute," which consists of textile dyeing specialists.
This distinctive ink utilizes the bleeding property of dyes, making the most of the gradations of light and dark.
〇 Since dye inks are water-soluble, you can use them for various expressions such as "blurring" or extending the color thinly with a water brush after writing with ink.
