Taccia Sunao-iro Murasaki Purple 40 ml Fountain Pen Ink
The Taccia Sunao-iro Murasaki Purple belongs to the Sunao-iro collection, a series of fountain pen inks created to represent essential colours in their purest form. The Japanese word Sunao can be translated as “honest”, “sincere” or “natural”, a philosophy that defines the entire collection and seeks to recreate the direct and innocent perception of colour we experienced as children.
Developed and manufactured entirely in Japan, Taccia fountain pen inks are inspired by a distinctly Japanese appreciation of colour, where beauty emerges from simplicity, harmony and faithful colour expression. Each colour in the Sunao-iro collection aims to evoke the feeling of opening a box of crayons for the first time and discovering vivid, unmistakable colours full of character.
Murasaki: The Colour of Japanese Nobility
The name Murasaki (紫) means “purple” or “violet” in Japanese. Throughout Japanese history, this colour has been closely associated with aristocracy, classical literature and some of the most refined expressions of traditional culture.
For centuries, purple dyes were difficult to produce and were reserved for the highest social classes. The colour also appears frequently in important works of Japanese literature, including The Tale of Genji, becoming a symbol of elegance, artistic sensitivity and sophistication.
Taccia interprets this colour as a pure and balanced purple that reflects the traditional essence of Murasaki. The result is a distinguished, expressive and vibrant ink capable of adding personality to any page while maintaining excellent readability.
Writing Experience
Murasaki provides a smooth and fluid writing experience, with a vibrant colour suitable for everyday writing, personal journals, correspondence, illustration and creative work.
Its formulation delivers consistent flow and reliable performance across a wide variety of fountain pens. Depending on the paper and nib used, the ink may reveal attractive tonal variations that add visual depth and character to the writing.
