Product information

Shoufuku Boku takes its name from Shou (招), to call, Fuku (福), good fortune, and Boku (墨), ink — a "luck-calling ink," here shaped for the Year of the Ox. In the Chinese zodiac, those born under the ox are traditionally described as diligent, gentle, hardworking, and reliable, with a patient steadiness that can tip into stubbornness.

In East Asia, zodiac-themed pieces like this are a familiar way to mark a birth year or send good fortune to someone entering it.

At 42mm wide, 102mm long, 12mm thick, and 91 grams, it's a substantial, well-proportioned stick, equally at home on a working desk or displayed as a keepsake.

For anyone drawn to the calendar traditions woven through East Asian ink culture — or looking for a thoughtful gift for an ox-year friend — this is Kobaien's way of putting a wish for good fortune into something you can actually grind and use.

SIZE: 4.5 (W:42mm L:102mm T:12mm WGT:91grams)
