Kitty Inkpot - Mountain Smoke Beyond the Bamboo Grove Ink

Kitty Inkpot – Mountain Smoke Beyond the Bamboo Grove Ink 山收竹外烟 (2025 Winter Limited Edition)

The Mountain Gathers the Smoke Beyond the Bamboo is a tranquil ink inspired by mist‑covered peaks and drifting smoke through quiet groves. This multi‑shading fountain pen ink features a cool teal base that deepens into slate gray and soft brown undertones, evoking the serenity of mountain mornings after rain.

In lighter strokes, it reveals a gentle jade hue reminiscent of dew on bamboo leaves. As the ink pools, it transforms into rich forest tones with subtle shading and a faint silvery sheen, a perfect balance of calm and depth for calligraphy, journaling, and contemplative writing.

Released as part of Kitty Inkpot’s 2025 Winter Limited Edition, this ink captures the stillness of nature and the poetic beauty of smoke rising beyond the bamboo, a fleeting moment preserved in color.
