Product information

Kurenaibana takes its name from Kurenai (くれない), deep red, and Bana (花), flower — an ink made from safflower oil smoke, with safflower red worked in to deepen and enrich the blackness itself.

It's suited especially to letters full of curved, flowing strokes, where the ink's particular richness helps a line hold its character through every turn. It comes in two sizes — 1.0 at 23×82.6×11mm, 27g, and 2.0 at 28.3×96×13mm, 48g — so you can choose a compact stick for quick notes or a slightly larger one for longer correspondence.

Named for a flower yet built for handwriting, Kurenaibana sits at that lovely, quietly poetic point where a Japanese inkstick's ingredients and its intended use share the same gentle logic.

A subtle, letter-writer's ink worth discovering.
