Product information

Gokujo-Kinshokaku — 極 (goku, super) 上 (jou, top) 金 (kin, gold) 松 (shou, pine) 鶴 (kaku, crane) — takes its name from the pine tree and crane, both symbols of good luck and prosperity across Japan and China.

Made from superb rapeseed oil and finished with gold leaf for beauty, preservation, and the smoother brush glide long favoured for Kuzushiji, it turns glossy black pushed dark, brownish black when thinned — ideal for painting.

One customer, thrilled to find a hand-folded origami crane tucked inside the parcel, called the stick simply stunning and can't wait to gift it to a friend just starting calligraphy.
