Taccia’s Ukiyo-e ink line is easily one of the most beautiful ink collections I’ve ever written with. I picked up a bottle in Natane color recently out of curiosity and it quickly became a favorite in my rotation.
I tested it in my Monteverde MP1 OmniFlex fountain pen, and the flow was smooth and reliable with no railroading, even during heavier flex writing. The ink has just the right viscosity—it’s not overly wet, but it keeps up with expressive strokes effortlessly.
The color I chose, Natane, is rich, complex, and layered. What I love most about it is how it mirrors the mood and artistry of traditional Japanese woodblock prints—it really lives up to the “Ukiyo-e” name. There's often subtle shading, and on higher-quality paper like Tomoe River or Midori, you get a gorgeous depth that feels like it belongs in an art studio as much as a writing desk.
Dry time is reasonable—especially for such a saturated ink. I didn’t experience feathering or bleed-through, even when journaling on thinner paper stock. It’s a very well-behaved ink all around.
And the packaging? Absolutely stunning. The box features classic Japanese artwork that makes it feel like you're unboxing a piece of history. The glass bottle is elegant and sturdy, with a wide enough mouth for easy filling.
Final thoughts:
If you’re someone who appreciates both writing and art, the Taccia Ukiyo-e line and specifically Natane ink color feels like the perfect blend of both. It’s one of those inks that makes writing feel like a calming, creative ritual. I’ll definitely be picking up more colors from this line. It also makes a very special gift due to the special packaging.

Sabimidori is one of my favorite inks ever! Beautiful rusty sheen and a deep dusky color that’s either blue or green depending on the paper. It also is much more smear resistant than a lot of sheening inks.

This ink flows well in my BBB nib pen. It dries comparatively quickly, too. I’m on my second fill and have used it on multiple papers. Tomoe River really shows off the subtle chromatographic edges. Rhodia staple pad not so much. In natural light, I can see the beautiful sheen of this ink on my handwritten letters before I fold them up to mail. Highly recommend based on ink quality.
