    Product information

    This sumi ink stick was made of uperfine rapeseed(canola)  oil smoke and vintage Chinese glue. 

    Production Year: 1960

    It was named after a pine garden that is said to have existed in the Yubi Mountains ( 隃麋山 )  in China long ago. In the old days, ink was made from pine trees, and the pine trees of Mount Yubi are synonymous with ink.
