Product information
Funagata — 舟 (funa, a boat) 形 (gata, model) — is copied directly from one of just fifteen inksticks preserved in the Shosoin, the treasure house built in the first half of the Nara period (around 700 CE) to safeguard Japan's national treasures.
The original it reproduces bears the name of Silla, an ancient kingdom of the Korean peninsula. Made from Kobaien's finest oil smoke, it's especially suited to blue ink and quietly counted among staff favourites for its calm, understated shade.
Nicolas Pahlisch called Kobaien's inks extraordinary, praising their density of tone, range of shades, remarkable fluidity once ground, and impressively deep tonal range, adding that after a long search for inks that suited him, he recommends them without reservation — and found the company itself entirely reliable and easy to deal with.
