Product information
Kin-Shushinboku takes its name from Kin (金), gold, Shu (主), master, Shin (臣), retainer, and Boku (墨), ink. "Shushin" is a traditional folding screen held in the Shosoin Repository in Nara, and during the Edo period Kobaien was granted rare access to view its treasures — this inkstick's design is drawn directly from that screen.
Made from superb rapeseed oil, it turns glossy black at full strength and a warm brownish black in pale washes. Its gold leaf serves three purposes: beauty, protecting the ink from chemical change over time, and — as generations of Japanese calligraphers have found — helping the brush glide more smoothly, particularly for Kuzushiji cursive script.
At 35mm wide, 113mm long, 12mm thick, and 58 grams, it's a substantial, gift-worthy stick built for painting.
A rare chance to work with a design pulled straight from an imperial treasure house.
