Since being founded in 1952, Tsukineko has always strived to be the leading manufacturer of high quality inks and ink pads.

In 1982, they introduced the very first water-based pigment ink pad which was met with widespread enthusiasm by the crafting industry. This pigment ink pad led to the development of the revolutionary multi-color stamp which then led to the creation of a myriad of other inks. And they haven't stopped developing since.
