Nagasawa Kobe 47 Aotani Cascade Green 50 ml Fountain Pen Ink
The Nagasawa Kobe 47 Aotani Cascade Green 50 ml Fountain Pen Ink is part of the Kobe INK Monogatari collection, created by Nagasawa Bungu Center to capture the landscapes, history and character of Kobe through colour. This ink is inspired by Aotani, a peaceful residential area located at the foot of Mount Maya, where mountain paths wind through lush vegetation and small waterfalls accompany visitors with the constant sound of flowing water.
According to the official collection description, Aotani Cascade Green combines the natural green of the surrounding landscape with the bluish tones of the small waterfalls that flow through the area. The result is a fresh and balanced colour that evokes the feeling of walking along a forest trail far removed from the pace of the city.
Aotani and the Slopes of Mount Maya
Aotani is located in one of Kobe's quietest districts, at the foot of Mount Maya. Unlike the city's more urban and commercial areas, this environment maintains a close connection with nature, offering walking trails, streams and small waterfalls that form part of the local landscape.
The combination of water and vegetation creates a particularly peaceful atmosphere. Waterfalls descend between moss-covered rocks while forest paths pass through woodland areas that change with the seasons, creating a sense of calm that is difficult to find in the city centre.
The Meaning of Aotani Cascade Green
The official inspiration for this ink comes from the meeting point between the green of the vegetation and the bluish reflections of the water. Aotani Cascade Green reproduces this combination through a green-turquoise shade full of freshness and depth.
Within the Kobe INK Monogatari collection, it stands out for its balance between green and blue. Depending on the paper, lighting and nib used, different nuances may emerge, recalling both the damp leaves of the forest and the crystal-clear water of the waterfalls that inspired its name.
