KOJI is a reddish yellow traditionally connected to Buddhism in Japan, carrying strong cultural and symbolic significance. This warm, earthy tone works exceptionally well as a base color for tigers and for the metal elements of samurai armor, adding depth and age without overpowering surrounding colors. When paired with a bright yellow, KOJI helps create an authentic old-world ukiyo-e irezumi look, making it a valuable pigment for artists working in traditional Japanese styles. Its balanced saturation allows for smooth blends while maintaining a refined, historical character once healed. All Solid Ink Horitomo Series pigments are vegan, cruelty-free, and made in the USA, formulated for professional performance and reliable results.
