Taccia Sunao-iro Uguisu Olive Green 40 ml Fountain Pen Ink
The Taccia Sunao-iro Uguisu Olive Green 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 natural colours. Each ink in the Sunao-iro collection aims to recreate the excitement of discovering a colour for the first time, presenting shades that are clear, balanced and faithful to their essence.
Uguisu: The Green of the Japanese Spring
The name Uguisu (鶯) refers to the Japanese bush warbler, a bird traditionally associated with the arrival of spring in Japan. Its distinctive song is considered one of the most recognisable sounds of the season and frequently appears in Japanese poetry, painting and literature.
From this association comes the traditional colour name Uguisu-iro, used to describe a soft olive green inspired by the plumage of the bird. It is a colour deeply connected to spring landscapes and the renewal of nature after winter.
Taccia interprets this colour as a balanced olive green with natural undertones that evoke young leaves, sunlit moss and the vegetation that awakens as warmer days return.
Writing Experience
Uguisu offers a smooth and pleasant writing experience, with an olive green tone that remains highly legible while standing apart from brighter or more saturated greens. Its understated elegance makes it an excellent choice for journals, correspondence, travel notebooks, botanical illustration and creative writing.
Taccia's formulation provides consistent flow and reliable performance across a wide variety of fountain pens. Depending on the paper and nib used, subtle tonal variations may appear, adding depth and visual interest to the writing.
