Aisy's New Water-Based Inks

Aisy, the renowned manga art supply brand, proudly announces the launch of its latest product line of water-based inks designed specifically for fountain pens. Set to debut at the Bungu Joshi Expo 2025, which will be held from December 17 to December 21, this new ink series aptly named "Tegaki Jikan Ink: Yuragi" promises to offer artists a delightful writing experience.

What is "Tegaki Jikan Ink: Yuragi"?

The "Yuragi" ink series celebrates the unique interplay of colors and textures. The special attribute of this ink lies in its ability to change color density based on the type of paper used or the addition of water. This phenomenon, known as "iro-wari" or color break, creates a natural blend of rich and faded ink on a single stroke, resulting in aesthetically pleasing depth and character to handwritten notes or illustrations. The name "Yuragi," which means 'a gentle fluctuation,' reflects these unique qualities.

Color Palette Inspired by Nature

Aisy's new inks are available in three beautiful shades:
1. Asamoya: A foundation of brown enriched with hints of orange, pink, and a subtle purple—evoking the beauty of morning mist.
2. Minamo: An emerald green base featuring a flowing blue, reminiscent of serene water surfaces.
3. Wasure-ne: A lilac-purple background, gracefully mixed with blue-green, inspired by the transitioning seasons.

These colors are not only visually stunning but also bring out the natural character inherent to manual writing. Each hue serves as a creative tool for artists, calligraphers, or anyone who enjoys the tactile experience of writing.

Compatibility with Various Writing Instruments

A major highlight of the "Yuragi" series is its compatibility with different writing instruments, including fountain pens, dip pens, and glass pens. Users can enjoy the dynamic color changes that come with each stroke, regardless of their preferred writing tool. This versatility makes it an exciting addition to any artist's desk.

Exclusive Packaging at Bungu Joshi Expo 2025

Alongside the ink itself, Aisy will offer an exclusive set of three inks in a stunning foil-embossed package, designed to be sold only at the Bungu Joshi Expo 2025. This limited edition packaging not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also makes for a perfect gift or souvenir for stationery lovers. The set includes one of each of the three ink colors: Asamoya, Minamo, and Wasure-ne, putting together an exquisite collection for any art enthusiast.
