Product information

Akyou Seiboku — 阿 (a, rare) 膠 (kyou, glue) 青 (sei, bluish) 墨 (boku, ink) — is made from oil smoke and rare donkey glue, refined by Kobaien through years of accumulated experience, producing a remarkably beautiful bluish black.

One customer found the colour genuinely unique: black carrying real blue undertones, which mixed with yellow yields a personal-favourite secondary green.

They noted the rare glue makes the ink's flow easier to control, and that diluted washes catch different blue or green casts under changing light — an effect they called unforgettable.
