Taccia Sunao-iro Ao Blue is a 40 ml Japanese fountain pen ink inspired by the traditional Japanese concept of Ao, the colour associated with clear skies, the sea and youth. Its bright blue tone belongs to the Sunao-iro collection, created to represent essential colours in their purest and most sincere form.
The Taccia Sunao-iro Ao Blue 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 convey a direct and authentic perception of colour.
Developed and manufactured entirely in Japan, Taccia fountain pen inks are inspired by the Japanese appreciation of the fundamental colours found in nature. Each ink in the Sunao-iro collection aims to recreate the excitement of discovering a colour for the first time, presenting shades that are balanced, distinctive and faithful to their essence.
The name Ao (青) means “blue” in Japanese, although historically the word has also been used to describe certain shades of green. This linguistic characteristic reflects an older Japanese perception of colour, where the boundaries between blue and green were not always clearly separated.
Ao is one of the most important colours in Japanese culture. It is associated with clear skies, the open sea, youth, freshness and purity. Everyday expressions such as aozora (blue sky) and even the word seishun (youth), which contains the character for blue, demonstrate the deep cultural connection between this colour and ideas of vitality, renewal and optimism.
Taccia interprets this concept through a bright, clean and balanced blue that represents the essence of the colour without complex undertones or intermediate interpretations. The result is a luminous and versatile ink that perfectly embodies the philosophy of the Sunao-iro collection.
