In China, indigo is referred to as "grass to dye fabrics in blue". Therefore, the word "indigo" originally meant the ingredient of dying.
In Japan, the word refers to both the indigo blue color and the ingredient plant that are used when dying fabrics.
Indigo tends to grow on a damp land, and reduces damage caused by a flood. Therefore, the plant is cultivated at a massive scale in the basin of the lower Yoshino River in Tokushima, and this indigo is called as "Awa indigo".

Dear hones are dyed in indigo blue using this "Awa indigo" by the hands of Yukio Yoshioka, the 5th generation president of "Sometsukasa Yoshioka" to make the handle of Kuretake Yumeginga fountain pens.
You can enjoy comfortable smooth writing sensation of a gold nib produced by Bock, a German manufacturer.
