TOHOKU BASIC BLUE
A long stretch of land — that is Tohoku.
A region that faces both the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Japan.
Though vast and far-reaching, Tohoku is always connected under the same sky.
The sky changes its expression with each passing season —
from the quiet of winter to the awakening of spring.
This ink series captures the colors of the sky as it transforms through the seasons of Tohoku.

NE6 TOHOKU BUNGU LAB.
A collaborative project formed by stationery stores from all six prefectures of Tohoku, under the concept of “Sharing the charm of Tohoku through stationery.”
