About InkAru
What is InkAru?
InkAru is a design studio inspired by Japanese culture, Sumi-e art, and the beauty of minimal expression. Each piece is created to feel meaningful, calming, and intentionally crafted.
What inspires your designs?
Our art draws from traditional Japanese aesthetics — brushstrokes, nature, folklore, symbols, and philosophies like wabi-sabi and ikigai. Every design begins with a feeling or story we want to share.
Are your designs hand-drawn?
Every artwork begins with intentional sketching, composition, and artistic direction inspired by Sumi-e techniques. We blend digital tools with traditional influence to create a modern yet authentic look.
Do you create everything yourself?
Yes — the artistic vision, concepts, and final designs are developed internally. Each piece reflects InkAru’s unique style and storytelling approach.
Products
How do your t-shirt sizes fit?
We use high-quality unisex t-shirts with a regular fit. If you prefer a more relaxed or oversized look, we recommend sizing up. A detailed size chart is available on each product page.
How should I wash my InkAru t-shirt?
Wash cold, inside-out, on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach and high heat. Hang drying helps preserve print quality and garment longevity.
What materials do you use?
Our main garments are soft, breathable cotton or cotton-blend fabrics carefully selected for comfort, durability, and print quality.
