What a beautiful ritual - one custom mixed IRO Ink to correspond with each month of the year! Using Kakimori’s inks as a base, this mini ink set was created with colors blended to match the printed colors featured on each month’s pages in the Hobonichi Techo book. 

These bottles are just the right size for experimenting with different colors. Each set contains six bottles, with one set featuring colors for January through June and the other for July through December. 

Choose an ink color that matches the techo's printed colors to create a more cohesive look on the page.  One bottle fills your pen about three times.

Use these little bottles to fill your favorite fountain pen or rollerball (may we recommend the Frost from Kakimori - just a beautiful pair with a Hobonichi!). Also well paired with a dip pen too. We feel these colors are very carefully chosen to not only match the colors of the Hobonichi months but also seem to reflect the mood and seasonality of the month.  Gets our creative juices flowing for the year ahead!  

Six bottle set covering July through December, with inks blended to match the printed colors of the 12 months in the Hobonichi Techo book. 

The Hobonichi Techo uses 12 soft colors across the book. The TSUKI no IRO stationery series incorporates these colors into simple designs.

These mini ink sets are a special collaboration made with Kakimori, a stationery shop that crafts fountain pens, inks, notebooks, and more, Kakimori's mission is to " write with joy.”  We embrace that mission and think Hobonichi clearly does too.

Kakimori's ink is water-resistant and resistant to fading even when exposed to light, making it a wonderful choice for writing things you want to preserve for a long time, like diary entries. It’s also a perfect set for someone trying ink for the first time, or as a gift for someone special.

We recommend shaking the pigment ink well before use and cleaning your writing instrument regularly after use. We hope it becomes a cherished companion as you quietly put your thoughts into words each day.
