Are you interested in purchasing aged ink sticks from Kobaien's inventory?

Since we began offering Kobaien ink sticks to international customers in 2019, we, ICHI Inc., Japan have had the privilege of introducing these exceptional products to collectors and practitioners worldwide.

In recognition of our track record and commitment, Kobaien has granted us special authorization to source aged ink sticks from their archives on behalf of our customers.

This exclusive arrangement makes us the sole international source for collectors seeking authenticated vintage Kobaien ink sticks.

If you are looking for specific vintage ink sticks from earlier production years, please contact us directly. It's for Free!

(Each ink stick from the Kobaien is carefully wrapped in Japanese Washi paper and bears a record of its year of manufacture.)

If you could provide us with as much detail as possible about the type of ink you desire—including its name, year of manufacture, and color characteristics—we will mediate with Kobaien to see if they have ink that meets your specifications.

You can provide details such as the ink stick name or desired production period—for example, "Do you have any aged stock of XXX?" or "I'm looking for ink sticks produced 30 or more years ago." We will work with Kobaien to locate such inventory and respond to your inquiry.
