Ink Institute Taiwan’s Secret Land Series – Shuiyang Forest

Ink Institute Taiwan’s Secret Land Series – Shuiyang Forest. Shuiyang Forest is often described as a “fallen heaven,” but however is actually a result of a landslide dam following the 921 Earthquake in 1999. A forest of Cunninghamia cedar was submerged, leading to the death of the trees and leaving behind a hauntingly beautiful landscape of white tree trunks. This supernatural and remote forest is not only a testament to the earthquake’s impact but also a distinct ecology that can be appreciated by hikers and campers, particularly under the clear, unpolluted night sky. The Taiwan’s Secret Land Series from Ink Institute are four chromatic and color-changing inks inspired by the hidden scenery in Taiwan, including Dalupalringi, Lavender Coral, Shuinandong Smelter, Shuiyang Forest. 30 ml Dye-based Ink Institute is a line of inks made by the Taiwanese stationery store, Juspirit in Taipei. They produce inks that are easy to clean and beautiful on paper.  We love their ink collections which include a tribute to the Taipei Metro subway line, Exotic Plants and the super fun Cat Daily collection.
