Zig ink cafe MEIJI NO IRO EBICHA

The “MEIJINOIRO” series is a beautiful selection of colored inks which were inspired by popular colors from the Meiji era of Japan.
The Meiji era is an era of Japanese history which extended from 1868 to 1912.
Each color has a history that originates from that era. Please enjoy using this ink, and be reminded of the old days of Japan. 
It can be used with fountain pens, glass pens, dip pens, Kuretake Karappo-pens, and more.

In the Meiji era, Purple had been considered a noble color used by the aristocracy. Since people were afraid of using Purple, “EBICHA” was often used instead of traditional Purple.
EBICHA had become a popular color for Hakama (Japanese traditional pants) intended for female students.
