This ink releases as part of the SHIKIORI series, which focuses on the theme of "experiencing Japan's seasons through writing instruments." The specific ink, "Yama no Uta," continues the narrative initiated with the rollout of the series in October 2025, which included fountain pens and ballpoint pens that echoed the songs of birds in the mountains.
The Inspiration Behind Yama no Uta
The design and concept of "Yama no Uta" draw inspiration from the birds mentioned in the 72 seasonal micro-cycles known as
shichijuniko. This intricate classification divides the 24 solar terms of the traditional Japanese calendar into three parts, allowing for an even more refined appreciation of the changing seasons.
This season-themed ink aims to evoke the vibrant beauty of Japanese nature as expressed through the melodious songs and graceful appearances of birds. Users are encouraged to engage with the world of Japanese seasonality in a fresh and delightful manner.
Color Line-Up
The SHIKIORI series includes a spectrum of colors that reflect playful interpretations of Japanese nature. With its existing range of fountain pens and ballpoints, the series beautifully marries art with functionality. Each product is carefully crafted to offer users an enriching writing experience, embodying both aesthetics and utility.
