Why choose just one ink when you can try them all? Kakimori's Ink Sampler Set includes five small bottles of their bold pigment inks—perfect for experimenting with a variety of colors without having to commit to a full bottle. The nib of a Kakimori dip pen just fits into the opening, so you can get straight to writing.

Set I:

Karari:  An immersive ocean blue. "Fresh like an endlessly clear sky. Karari describes a bright, cloudless day. With this blue in hand, a break in the clouds is never far away."

Kurun:  A calm leafy green. "Kurun depicts the dance of a vine’s curling tendrils. A green that captures both vitality and a sense of calm."

Po:  A vibrant, brilliant red. "A color tucked away in our hearts. Po is the way we blush when falling in love; the warmth of a face admired from afar."

Torori:  A muted, golden ochre. "A perfect omelette reveals its deliciously soft centre. Torori is the color of anticipation, describing a rich consistency overflowing with flavor."

Tototo:  A rich mulberry wine. "Tototo is the gentle melody of a special rosé poured in quiet company. A color to elevate everyday life or celebrate a special occasion."

Set II: 

Koton:  A quiet, tried and true black. "The silence of the night is punctuated by koton, the sound of an ink bottle being placed on the desk. A colour for quiet contemplation."

Murkuri:  A warm, welcoming brown. "Mukuri describes the state of awakening, like a bear emerging from hibernation to the warm red earth. The colour signals the arrival of a new season."

Soyo:  A light, airy blue. "Soyo is like a breath of fresh air. A colour that evokes the feeling of a pleasant breeze."

Toppuri:  A classic denim blue. "Look closely and you might see the stars in the night sky. Toppuri describes the comforting darkness that arrives after nightfall. A gentle color that inspires reflection." 

Zabun:  A deep ocean blue. "Zabun is the sound of the deep, blue ocean. Listen for the lapping waves as the ink flows across the paper, awakening precious memories."
