Kuretake Gold Mica Paste 30g

Kuretake Gold Mica Paste is a thick, water-based metallic gold in paste form — the same luminous mica gold as Kuretake’s liquid ink, but concentrated. Use it straight for dense, raised gold strokes with a brush, or thin it with water to the consistency you want for a dip pen.

The Nib Safety Net

"Gravity Happens. We’ve Got You Covered."

We know the heartbreak of a fountain pen hitting the floor. As a member of our Creative Rewards, you don't have to worry about the 'tines.' If the worst happens, just send us a photo and we'll send you a 50% discount for a fresh start.

"The Nib Safety Net" – Terms & Conditions

  • Eligibility: This benefit is exclusive to active members of the Creative Rewards program at the time of the accident.
  • Coverage: The 50% discount applies strictly to accidental damage (e.g., dropping the pen) that renders the nib unusable. It does not cover intentional damage, loss of the pen, theft, or normal wear and tear.
  • The Claim: To activate your discount, you must provide a clear photo of the damaged nib and your original order number to oops@yourstore.com.
  • Limitations: This discount is valid for a one-time replacement per pen purchased and applies only to the cost of the replacement nib unit. It cannot be combined with other promotional codes or used for full pen replacements.
  • Availability: We will provide the discount for the exact nib model where stock is available. If the model is discontinued, we will offer a 50% discount on a comparable alternative nib unit.

Why a paste

A liquid metallic ink is ready to use but fixed in strength. The paste lets you decide: use it neat on a brush for bold, opaque gold with visible body, or add water a few drops at a time until it flows from a pointed nib. Mixing only what you need also means the rest of the jar does not settle and separate the way a liquid can.

Made for dark paper

Like the liquid mica ink, the gold stays bright and reflective on black and dark coloured paper — the traditional use in Japan is for New Year cards and sutra copying.

Honest Note:

This takes a little preparation. You will need a small dish and a brush or dropper to mix it, and it takes some trial to find the right consistency for your nib — too thick and it will not flow, too thin and it loses opacity. If you want metallic ink straight from the bottle, choose Kuretake Mica Ink 60ml instead.

Who is it For?

• Calligraphers who want to control the density of their gold
• Brush letterers and sumi painters who want bold, opaque metallic strokes
• Illustrators adding small, intense gold highlights
• Anyone working on black or dark coloured paper

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUSTIONS (FAQ)

Paste or liquid Mica Ink?

Liquid for convenience and larger jobs; paste for control over strength and for bold brush work.

How much water should I add?

Start with a small amount of paste and add water a drop at a time, testing on scrap paper, until it flows from your nib or brush.

Can I use it in a fountain pen?

No — dip pens, glass pens and brushes only.
