Summer offers Soten, a clear, refreshing blue like a cloudless sky, and Rikyucha, a bitter, dark green reminiscent of tea and restraint. Autumn brings Kinmokusei's vivid orange, echoing the sweet scent of osmanthus flowers, Okuyama's dark maple red, Yamadori's blue-green mountain bird feathers, and Chuushuu's blue-grey harvest moon sky. Winter rounds out the set with Tokiwamatsu, a rich pine green that brightens as it dries, Shigure's near-black purple rain, and Yukiakari's soft snow-light.
The collection also includes the Tsukuyo no Minamo series, four inks that each imagine a different night: Yozakura's cherry petals drifting on a spring thaw, Yodaki's flickering bonfire over a summer high tide, Yonaga's autumn moon reflected on a lake, and Shimoyo's fr
