Get ready, stamp lovers and crafty creators! To celebrate Shachihata’s 100th birthday, a brand-new (but old-timey) version of their beloved ink pad series is coming out: introducing the Iromoyo 1925! 🖋️🎂 Launching April 10, 2025, this stamp pad is a special tribute to the company’s roots, blending nostalgia with beautiful colors that’ll make your rubber stamp art pop.
🖌️ The Iromoyo Series – A Quick Throwback
The original Iromoyo ink pads came out in 2020 and quickly became a favorite for people who love eraser stamp art, handmade postcards, journaling, and cute crafts. They use traditional Japanese colors, which are soft, stylish, and perfect for delicate designs.
Now, with the Iromoyo 1925 edition, that beautiful idea gets a historic makeover. And yes—it's still just as fun to use with rubber stamps and all your washi tape dreams. 💮🎨
🎴 Design Inspired by the 1920s
What makes Iromoyo 1925 so special? First, it comes in a metal tin lid—just like Shachihata’s first ever ink pads from a century ago! 😲 The design features patterns inspired by Meisen kimono fabric and retro Japanese goods, popular in the Taisho and early Showa eras. It's like holding a piece of art history in the palm of your hand.
Each pad looks so pretty, you might want to collect all three just for the packaging! 😍📦
🎨 Three Gorgeous Colors – Old Meets New
Let’s talk ink! These aren’t your average reds and blues. The Iromoyo 1925 comes in three carefully chosen colors:
-
❤️ Enji-iro (えんじいろ): A deep red that was all the rage in the 1920s.
-
💜 Fujimurasaki (ふじむらさき): A dreamy purple inspired by wisteria flowers.
-
🖤 Sumi-iro (すみいろ): Classic black ink—also the most popular in the Iromoyo series!
Whether you're stamping greeting cards, labeling notebooks, or decorating your planner, these inks will give your creations a soft, vintage look. ✉️📖
