SHINBASHI - SOLID INK HORITOMO SERIES

SHINBASHI is a refined yet luminous blue inspired by the Shinbashi district of Tokyo, where this color was favored by geisha during the late Meiji Era (1868–1912). Elegant, reserved, and unmistakably Japanese, this hue balances subtlety with brightness.

Traditionally associated with kimono colors, SHINBASHI also excels in tattooing yūrei (ghosts) and yōkai (supernatural creatures), making it a powerful choice for atmospheric, historical, and folklore-driven designs.

All Solid Ink pigments are vegan, cruelty-free, and made in the USA, delivering professional performance with cultural authenticity.
