Kobaien Pine soot inksticks ( Shouenboku 松煙墨 )

Kobaien Pine soot inksticks ( Shouenboku 松煙墨 )

Pine soot has become vanishingly rare: today, only one craftsman in Japan still produces it by hand, burning pine wood in a shoji room for up to 100 hours per batch.

Kobaien's shoenboku carries that same centuries-old tradition forward, prized for a bluish-black tone no oil-soot ink can match.

The following list is arranged in order of product popularity.
