SAKURA is a soft, modern pink inspired by the delicate color of Japan’s iconic cherry blossom flowers. In traditional irezumi, Shu was historically used to represent sakura, but this contemporary pigment more accurately reflects the true natural hue of the blossoms, offering a gentler, more refined aesthetic. This color shines in cherry blossom petals, tennyo (heavenly beings), and as eyeshadow for woodblock-print–style women, making it an essential pigment for artists working in Japanese traditional and illustrative styles. All Solid Ink Horitomo Series pigments are vegan, cruelty-free, and made in the USA, delivering reliable saturation with elegant healed results.
