Product information

A wonderful ink stick made from the Kobaien’s finest oil smoke; most suitable for blue ink. The sumi ink color is bluish black. One of Kobaien staff's secret favorite because of its very calm shade.

In Japan, there is a building called Shosoin, which was built in the first half of the Nara period (about 700 CE ) to preserve national treasures.

This inkstick was copied from one of the 15 pieces of inksticks in the Shosoin that bears the name of Silla ( 新羅, The name of an ancient kingdom in the southeastern part of the Korean peninsula from 57 B.C. to 935 A.D.).


Width: 27 mm Length: 145 mm Thickness: 12 mm Weight:51 grams ( inkstick only ), 86 grams ( inclucing paulownia wood box )

    Excellent produit !

    Ces encres sont extraordinaires ! Leurs qualités sont multiples: densité de teinte, variété des teintes, grande fluidité sitôt broyée et profondeur des tons très impressionnants! Après avoir longuement cherché des encres qui me conviennent, je recommande à 100%. Et la transaction avec la firme qui les fabrique n’a pas de défaut j’ai toujours été très satisfait de leur efficacité et de leur sérieux: très fiable en plus d’être très efficace.
