Nagasawa Kobe Monogatari Minatogawa Lime Ink Bottle 50 ml

Nagasawa Kobe Monogatari Minatogawa Lime is a fountain pen ink inspired by the peaceful atmosphere and natural surroundings of the Minatogawa Shrine in Kobe. The Kobe Ink Monogatari collection was created by the historic Nagasawa Bungu Center, a renowned Japanese stationery store founded in 1882, with the idea of expressing the places, traditions, and identity of the city through color.

The inks of the Kobe Monogatari series are developed by Nagasawa and produced in Japan, offering smooth writing, rich tones, and beautiful shading that enhance every stroke of the pen.

Minatogawa Lime takes its inspiration from the famous Minatogawa-jinja, a shrine beloved by the people of Kobe and affectionately known as “Nanko-san”. It enshrines Kusunoki Masashige, a historical figure admired for his loyalty and devotion.

The shrine features a distinctive atmosphere, with white walls and pillars surrounded by camphor trees (kusunoki), the symbolic tree of Hyogo Prefecture. This green and tranquil setting has long been a place of relaxation and reflection.

The ink’s color reflects this environment through a fresh and vibrant lime green, evoking the vitality of the trees and the calm presence of nature. The shade is lively yet balanced, bringing energy and brightness to the page.

Nagasawa Kobe Monogatari Minatogawa Lime is a harmonious and expressive fountain pen ink, perfect for those who appreciate bright green tones and wish to bring a sense of freshness and calm into their writing.
