Nagasawa Kobe 15 Maiko Green 50 ml Fountain Pen Ink
The Nagasawa Kobe 15 Maiko Green 50 ml Fountain Pen Ink is part of the Kobe INK Monogatari collection, created by Nagasawa Bungu Center to represent the landscapes, history and identity of Kobe through colour. This ink is inspired by Maiko Park, one of the city's most iconic parks, renowned for its views of the Akashi Strait, Awaji Island and the famous Akashi Kaikyō Bridge.
Its rich green tone captures the natural beauty of this remarkable location. Fresh, vibrant and full of life, Maiko Green evokes the experience of walking among the ancient pine trees that have characterised the Maiko coastline for generations.
Maiko Park
Located in the western part of Kobe, Maiko Park is one of the city's most beloved public spaces for both residents and visitors. From its shoreline, visitors can enjoy magnificent views of Awaji Island and the Akashi Kaikyō Bridge, one of Japan's great engineering achievements.
Beyond its maritime scenery, the park preserves an old pine grove that forms an important part of the area's historical identity. These trees have shaped the coastal landscape of Maiko for decades and remain one of its most distinctive features.
The Meaning of Maiko Green
According to Nagasawa's official description, Maiko Park offers beautiful views of Awaji Island and is home to an ancient pine grove filled with the same lush green colour that inspired this ink.
Maiko Green faithfully reproduces the vivid and natural green of these coastal pines. The result is a balanced shade that combines freshness, depth and a pleasant connection to nature. It is a colour that conveys tranquillity while maintaining a distinctive personality.
