Teranishi Guitar Taisho Romantic Bottle Ink – Emotional Olive
$22.00
Teranishi’s first product was a writing ink called “Guitar Ink,” though the origin of its name remains a mystery. Company records suggest that guitars were popular in the Philippines—a key export market at the time—but there’s no definitive reason why Teranishi chose to link its inks to the instrument.
For over a century, both Teranishi and its Guitar Brand have stood the test of time, surviving the optimism of the Taisho period, the hardships of war, and Japan’s rise as a global economic and cultural force. First introduced in 2021, these inks pay tribute to a pivotal era in Japanese history, reflecting the bold, expressive styles of Taisho Roman Japan. Each color captures the vibrancy and elegance of the period, bringing a touch of vintage charm to modern writing.

Description
Each 40 mL bottle comes in a beautifully designed cardboard box inspired by the Taisho period. There’s a card attached to each bottle with an empty space for your color swatch. And the cap is marked with Teranishi’s original “Gold Star Guitar” brand, which for unknown reasons features a guitar-strumming queen.
Made in Japan.

The original shape of the bottle, which is typified by the long neck with marble, derives from the thirties. In addition to the long neck, the bottle is characterized by the rounded shape and wide, stable base.
By tilting the closed bottle the bottle neck itself with ink. When righted, the marble will fall vertically and prevent the ink to flow back. This creates a reservoir above the marble which is easy to fill, even if the jar is almost empty.
