Product information

墨ばさみ, the inkstick holder — literally "ink clip" — solves a small but real problem: a short stick of ink, especially toward the end of its life, becomes awkward to hold steady against the stone.

Made of ebony, it grips inksticks of size 1.5 or smaller, letting fingers stay dry and the angle stay true even as the stick wears down to a stub.

It does not come with an inkstick of its own — think of it as the quiet companion that lets a favourite Koukaboku or Shitsuboku be ground down to its very last centimetre without ever losing control of it.

The size of sumi ink recommended for use with this tool is size 1.5 ( Width: 21mm, Length 81mm ) inkstick or less than size 1 .

This inkstick holder does not come with an inkstick.

The inkstick used in this photo is the size 1/3 of 5 star Koukaboku inkstick (Width:13mm Length:52mm Thickness:5mm )
