Product information

Daiyahotei takes its name from Daiya (大哉), magnanimous, and Hotei (布袋), the Japanese god of good fortune, its design drawn from a painting by Kano Tanyu, a celebrated painter working from the late Momoyama period into the early Edo period.

Made from superfine rapeseed oil smoke and a botanical blue pigment, this stick was produced in 1970, meaning it now carries some 56 years of quiet maturation — the kind of long rest that lets a sumi ink's color settle and its character deepen, prized by collectors of koboku, antique inksticks.

At 38mm wide, 95mm long, 13mm thick, and 54 grams, it's a substantial piece as much for the shelf as for the inkstone. For anyone drawn to Kobaien's history of translating classical Japanese painting into ink itself, Daiyahotei offers both a picture of good fortune and half a century of aging condensed into a single stick.
