TAG STATIONERY

Kyoto craft, made for handwriting today.

TAG STATIONERY STORE is a Kyoto-based hub built around the pleasure of writing by hand. Operated by TAKEDAJIMUKI Co., Ltd., it brings inks, pens, and paper together so you can build a complete setup in one place. Inks are organized by type—synthetic dye, natural dye, shimmer, and colored ink-stick options—making it easy to choose an entry point. Original lines include Kyo-no-Oto, a dye ink developed in collaboration with the Kyoto Kusakizome Research Institute, and Fumisome, a series that looks beyond color to the character of your letters. It’s a store that gently invites you to enjoy shading, feathering, and the small differences that make handwriting feel alive.

Why We Love It

Start by choosing one ink—Kyo-no-Oto or Fumisome—and make a small test-writing page. Pair it with a glass dip pen or a dip pen so changing colors stays effortless. Then switch papers to see how shading and feathering shift on the page. When you’re ready, try different nibs or an inkwell to change the feel, and explore DIY kits or workshop categories to add new ways to enjoy writing.

PROFILE About the Company / Workshop

TAG STATIONERY STORE is based in Kyoto and curated around the joy of handwriting. Operated by TAKEDAJIMUKI Co., Ltd., it brings together the essentials—ink, paper, and writing tools—so you can choose the “parts” of your writing time in one place.

Inks sit at the center, with categories organized by type to make selection straightforward. Alongside bottles and inkwells, you’ll find dip pens, nibs, and glass pens. Choosing just one color is enough to start building a calm, repeatable writing ritual.

Original lines include Kyo-no-Oto and Fumisome. Kyo-no-Oto is a dye ink developed with the Kyoto Kusakizome Research Institute, designed to express traditional colors with subtle shading. Fumisome looks at the character of letters—how ink behaves in a line—not only at the hue itself.

The store also offers paper goods, writing tools, and related accessories so you can tailor combinations by purpose and mood. DIY kits and workshop categories create paths beyond simple purchasing, and the contact page provides a clear way to ask questions when you’re unsure.

Kyoto techniques, shaped for modern desks

TAG STATIONERY builds stationery with Kyoto craftsmanship as a starting point, then refines it for everyday use today. The idea is simple: make tools that feel natural in your hands, and let your desk become a place you want to write.

Inks organized by type, easy to explore

You can choose from categories like synthetic dye, natural dye, shimmer, and colored ink-stick options. The selection extends to bottles, inkwells, dip pens, nibs, glass pens, and writing paper—so your whole handwriting kit can come together.

Kyo-no-Oto: traditional colors with depth

Kyo-no-Oto is a dye ink line developed in collaboration with the Kyoto Kusakizome Research Institute. Inspired by long-used Japanese traditional colors, it also highlights tonal variation and shading that feel especially satisfying with fountain pens and dip pens.

Fumisome: focus on the look of letters

Fumisome is built on the idea of “dyeing” your words. It pays attention not only to color, but also to line texture—width, wobble, dryness, and feathering—so the mood of your writing can change with your tools.
