Guitar Taisho Roman Haikara Ink, inspired by the artistic spirit of the Taisho era

A nostalgically new fountain pen ink crafted by a company with over 100 years of history

Founded in 1916 as a manufacturer of writing inks, our company rapidly expanded into international markets, establishing the renowned Guitar brand celebrated for its high-quality products. In 1953, we launched Magic Ink, Japan's first oil-based marking pen known for its quick-drying, water-resistant, and durable properties. Magic Ink has continued to be a favorite due to its versatility across various materials.

Inspired by the artistic spirit of the Taisho era (1912–1926), the Guitar Taisho Roman Haikara Ink marks a return to our roots. Developed with our enduring mission to "provide color to the world and contribute to everyone’s life," this series upholds our commitment to innovation and excellence.

The diverse appeal of fountain pen ink

The diverse appeal of fountain pen ink

Experience the enchantment of this fountain pen ink, which uniquely changes color from the moment it's written to when it dries. Delight in the rich, dynamic shifts in color due to the ink's propensity for bleeding and variations in intensity. This ink also features a rare sheen, uncommon in other fountain pen inks. You can use the included tag to apply the ink on the back side and utilize it as a color sample. The ink is available in 40 ml bottles and comes in a total of 16 unique colors that are distinct from those offered by other brands. This versatile, water-based dye ink is perfect not only for writing in planners and notebooks but also for coloring illustrations. The top of the ink bottle is adorned with the guitar mark, the trademark of Teranishi Chemical Industry, designed in a revival of the original logo from the company’s founding.
