Nagasawa Kobe 51 Kano-cho Midnight Deep Blue Fountain Pen Ink 50 ml
Nagasawa Kobe 51 Kano-cho Midnight Deep Blue fountain pen ink is inspired by the quiet, contemplative atmosphere of Kano-cho at night. This deep blue evokes the urban night sky, where light fades and colors gain a refined, subdued intensity. It is an excellent choice for writers who appreciate dark blue inks with depth, elegance, and a calm visual presence.
Concept and inspiration
Kano-cho is a historic district of Kobe known for its balance between residential calm and understated city life. After sunset, the streets are wrapped in a deep, almost blackened blue that feels composed and reflective. Kano-cho Midnight captures this moment, translating the stillness of night into an ink color that conveys focus, introspection, and visual depth.
Performance and compatibility
This ink is designed to provide a smooth and consistent flow in all fountain pens, regardless of brand or filling system. Its balanced saturation produces clean, well-defined lines, making it suitable for everyday writing, professional notes, and long-form journaling. The 50 ml glass bottle features a wide opening for easy and stable filling.
Paper recommendation
To fully appreciate the depth of this dark blue ink, high-quality Japanese papers such as Midori MD, Life, or Tomoe River are recommended. These papers preserve contrast and line clarity, allowing the ink’s rich tone to stand out without feathering.
