Product information

Kakou Boku — 鹿 (Ka, deer) 膠 (Kou, glue) 墨 (Boku, ink) — is a wonderful inkstick made from rare deer glue, prized for its very good colour extension and well suited to calligraphy.

Deer glue has long been valued among ink makers for the particular clarity it can lend to sumi, a quiet rarity worked into every stick — the kind of detail that rewards those who notice what a glue, as much as a soot, can bring to the ink.

A modest, unassuming stick that carries something genuinely rare inside it, ready for a hand that wants to feel the difference glue alone can make.
