Nagasawa Kobe 77 Rokko Himalayan Blue Fountain Pen Ink 50 ml

Nagasawa Kobe 77 Rokko Himalayan Blue fountain pen ink is inspired by one of the most remarkable flowers found at the Rokko Alpine Botanical Garden, near the summit of Mount Rokko. In early summer, the rare Himalayan Blue Poppy blooms with a striking contrast between its translucent blue petals and bright yellow stamens. This ink captures that natural beauty in a vivid yet refined blue with gentle tonal variation.

Concept and inspiration

Native to the distant Himalayas, the Himalayan Blue Poppy is considered one of nature’s most captivating colors. When it blooms in the cool alpine environment of Rokko, it creates a scene that feels both delicate and visually powerful. Rokko Himalayan Blue translates this moment into ink, offering a light yet expressive blue with subtle shading that adds depth and character to the page.

Performance and compatibility

This ink is formulated to deliver a smooth, consistent flow in all fountain pens, regardless of brand or filling system. Its balanced properties make it suitable for everyday writing, personal journals, letters, and creative work. The 50 ml glass bottle features a wide opening for easy and stable filling.

Paper recommendation

To fully appreciate the brightness and shading of this blue ink, high-quality Japanese papers such as Midori MD, Life, or Tsubame are recommended. These papers enhance color variation while maintaining clean, well-defined lines.
