Product information

Kyukyokuno Sumi — 究極 (kyukyoku, ultimate) の (no) 墨 (sumi, ink) — sits at the very top of Shitsuboku, the grade held to be the finest of all Kobaien inksticks, made by combining rare, ultra-fine rapeseed oil smoke from carefully tended rush lanterns with the highest-quality glue from rare cowhide.

In an old and rarely-seen finishing method, each stick is wrapped in the fibres of a dried loofah gourd — long regarded as proof of the very best.

This is the ultimate ink, refined over 430 years since Kobaien's founding.
