forme. - Penya Ink - Kamogawa Turtle Stone

Capture a quiet, familiar scene of Kyoto’s riverside with Kamogawa Turtle Stone Ink from forme. Both the store and warehouse are located near the Kamo River, and crossing it daily inspired this original ink, created to express the river’s changing scenery through color.

Kamogawa Turtle Stone is inspired by the turtle-shaped stepping stones found along the Kamogawa River - five along the main river and one along its tributary, the Takano River. These stones are a beloved spot for both locals and visitors, offering a gentle moment of connection with the river. The ink’s color reflects the calm, grounded presence of these stones and the atmosphere surrounding them.

This ink contains no glitter, making it suitable for fountain pens while allowing the color’s natural depth and variation to shine depending on the paper.

The ink is packaged in a bagasse paper box made from sugarcane residue, an eco-friendly material that gives the packaging a soft, natural texture while reducing waste.

Even if only a little, we hope this ink lets you feel the gentle charm of Kyoto’s Kamogawa River through your writing.
