Product information

Kacchu takes its name from the Japanese word for a samurai's armor, and its shape follows suit: this ink stick is molded in the form of a traditional "Nara Itto-bori" doll, a carving style handed down through generations in Nara Prefecture, where Kobaien itself is rooted.

Made from the smoke of the finest canola oil, ground to ultra-fine particles, it carries the same quality ink as Kobaien's more conventional sticks, just cast into a small sculptural form.

At 32.3mm wide, 64.5mm long, 17.8mm thick, and 66 grams, it's compact enough to display on a shelf or desk, a miniature suit of armor rendered in sumi.

For anyone drawn to the playful, sculptural side of Japanese ink-making — or looking for a distinctive gift that carries a piece of Nara's folk-art tradition — Kacchu is as much a small work of art as it is an inkstick.
