Nagasawa Kobe City Loop Green 50 ml Fountain Pen Ink

Nagasawa Kobe City Loop Green 50 ml Fountain Pen Ink

The Nagasawa Kobe City Loop Green is a special edition inspired by one of the most recognisable symbols of Kobe: the City Loop sightseeing bus. For many years, this distinctive green vehicle has connected some of the city's most famous attractions, allowing residents and visitors alike to explore Kobe while travelling through its historic districts, shopping areas, museums and cultural landmarks.

Surrounded by both mountains and sea, Kobe offers a remarkable variety of places to discover. The City Loop has become one of the most convenient ways to experience the city, linking many of its best-known destinations through a route that has become an essential part of the Kobe sightseeing experience.

Manufactured by Sailor for Nagasawa, City Loop Green features an attractive blue-green tone inspired by the classic livery of the bus itself. The result is an elegant and contemporary colour that combines freshness, personality and excellent readability, making it an excellent choice for journals, correspondence, travel notebooks and everyday writing.

The City Loop Bus and the City of Kobe

When discussing the most iconic features of Kobe, it is difficult not to think of the City Loop. More than simply a means of transportation, this sightseeing bus has become part of the city's modern identity and frequently appears in travel guides, photographs and souvenirs associated with Kobe.

Its route connects many of the city's most visited locations and allows travellers to experience the unique blend of tradition and modernity that characterises Kobe. This ability to unite different parts of the city is precisely the idea behind this ink, conceived as a tribute to the journeys, discoveries and experiences that form part of every visit to Kobe.

A Special Collaboration Between City Loop and Kobe INK Monogatari

The City Loop Green and Port Loop Blue collection was developed as a special collaboration between Kobe's sightseeing buses and Nagasawa. Both inks pay tribute to vehicles that have become familiar elements of the city's urban landscape.

While Port Loop Blue represents the modern transport line connecting the waterfront and Kobe's newest urban developments, City Loop Green celebrates the classic sightseeing bus that has accompanied countless visitors on their journey through the city. Its distinctive blue-green colour faithfully reproduces the tones of the vehicle and brings a small part of the Kobe travel experience to the page.

Nagasawa Collectibles and Writing Culture

Special editions developed by Nagasawa occupy a unique place among enthusiasts of Japanese writing instruments and collecting. City Loop Green is particularly distinctive because it connects the world of fountain pen inks with one of the most recognisable symbols of Kobe's urban life.

To fully appreciate the nuances of this ink, we recommend using high-quality fountain pen notebooks such as the Graphilo Kobe Ink or the Graphilo Kobe Font, whose exceptional paper allows the shading, saturation and colour depth characteristic of Sailor-produced Nagasawa inks to be displayed with remarkable clarity.

Together with Port Loop Blue, this edition forms a small thematic collection dedicated to Kobe's most recognisable transportation services. Its exclusive nature makes it particularly appealing to collectors of Japanese inks, transportation enthusiasts and admirers of the city of Kobe.
