Product Description
Founded in 2014 in Tamsui, Taiwan, Lennon Tool Bar is inspired by the traditional art of indigo dyeing—an industry that flourished in Taiwan over a century ago. At the time, Taiwan exported doroai, a key raw material for indigo dyes, to the Japanese Empire.
The brand draws from these historic dyeing techniques and classic indigo tones, translating them into a modern and distinctive colour palette.
Lennon Tool Bar Tshi-Khak-Kue is a limited-edition set celebrating the heritage of Oriental culture. The set includes a 35 ml bottle of fountain pen ink, three postcards, two books exploring the tradition, and a Taiwanese audiobook.
The 2021 Spring edition pays homage to a Chinese herbal rice cake. Before sunrise, the kitchen comes alive with the crackle of firewood and the rhythmic clang of the spatula, signaling the approach of a familiar festive moment. Overnight-aged rice and herbs are ground and kneaded by skilled hands into a color inspired by the season. With each strike, the rice cake releases from its mold, bearing patterns that express gratitude to the gods.
