Collection: Teranishi

Teranishi Chemical Industries, founded in 1918 during Japan's romantic Taisho period, gained recognition as one of the country's pioneering ink producers. To celebrate its 105th anniversary, the brand introduced retro-inspired inks that pay homage to its vibrant beginnings. Among them, Antique Black stands out—a dark brown ink with a faded, antique charm. While it initially appears black, closer inspection reveals a deep complexity, with subtle hints of brown, blue, and green adding depth and character. Known for its smooth performance and water resistance, Antique Black is versatile, offering subtle shading and a vintage aesthetic that shines in broader nibs.
