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 Rabbit.

Its design depicts an East Asian legend of a rabbit pounding rice cakes on the moon. In the Chinese zodiac, those born under the rabbit are traditionally described as kind, sensitive, artistic, and refined, if occasionally a touch judgmental or timid.

Pieces like this are a familiar way in East Asia to mark a birth year or send good luck 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 of East Asian ink culture, or seeking a thoughtful gift for a rabbit-year friend, this is Kobaien's way of putting a wish for good fortune into ink you can actually use.

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