Inkypalooza 2025: the summer inkfest

The TACCIA Ukiyo-e collection of bottled fountain pen inks are inspired by some of the Japanese masters of ukiyo-e art and their trademark color palettes.

- 

With box packaging of some of the artists' most renowned prints, each bottle is as inspired as the color it contains. Now, due to popular demand, TACCIA is offering sample-size, 12 ml glass bottle four-packs. The TACCIA Hokusai Ukiyo-e set includes Benitsuchi (red soil), Koiai (dark indigo), Sabimidori (rust green), and Fukaihanada (light blue). Hiroshige Ukiyo-e includes Asahanada (sky blue), Ruri (lapis lazuli), Nakamurasaki (red-purple), and Ainezu (blue-gray).

MSRP: $50

In 2025, a storied name doesn't just return, it metamorphoses. After 20 years, Michel Perchin is back with a brand new fountain pen, Metamorphosis. It's classically Michel Perchin: a body of sterling silver with a design that depicts a dramatic transformation captured in black and white hand-applied enamels. A translucent emerald green enamel oval with sunburst guilloche engraving marks the start of the clip, which is adorned with pavé diamonds and a single onyx. The sterling silver cap band features Michel Perchin logo engraving, and the custom-made 18 karat gold medium nib is specially engraved with the Michel Perchin twin elephants logo, a nod to its now multigenerational legacy. The Michel Perchin Metamorphosis cartridge/converter-filling fountain pen is limited to 100 pieces globally.

MSRP: $9,800
