Saibiboku ( The Ink of Color and Beauty ) is a watercolor paint set made from a combination of Kobaien's high quality Koukaboku ink and high quality pigments from Kissho, a specialist shop in Japanese paints.
These paints are made of ink kneaded with glue. This makes it possible to express beautiful colors with the transparency and luster of Gansai ( a special pigment for Japanese traditional watercolor paintings ) colors. The colors have more depth and serenity than those of ordinary Gansai for ink painting.
Note: These paints are made with less glue than usual. When making a scroll, or using it as a primer for natural mineral pigment painting, dissolve the paint in a separate dish and add new glue solution.

Shiro-mashi washi paper sized
This paper is extremely good for drawing of cat or animal with fur or feather
Like cats, dog and birds
The paper can give the fine line if using inks or colour when dry , in damp paper can give the soft texture of fur.
In this drawing, I also use the ink stick ( Toukaen Paulownia Oil ink stick ) mix either water colour . The colour of ink stick is good and easy to give good quality of ink when grinding .
This （JUN KIN DEI TETSUBACHI ( PURE GOLD PAINT 古梅園 純金泥 鉄鉢 ) gold color is so high quality that it is mixed with HYAKUSEKI-KOUSHI INKSTICK and AKYOU SEIBOKU INKSTICK to paint the fish's head, so that the gold color can be seen faintly on the fish's head. The scales of the fish body are also mixed with SHOURAI INKSTICK (VIVID AND BEAUTIFUL BLUISH BLACK, INDIGO) to make it more natural and bright.
This product is a very good combination of traditional Japanese elegance and art. It met my expectations. Also, when I opened the cargo, I was very happy with the origami bird that I saw.
I'm using this ink stick for my calligraphy. Let me tell you how amazing it's. the colour and glossines is really nice and it's amazing for small work because the glossiness gives a really nice effect on the paper I use for my calligraphy
I'm using this ink stick for my calligraphy. Let me tell you how amazing it's. The flow is really something else and it's really smooth. It's darkness and matte colour is on another level.
Thank you for providing this amazing piece of work.
I was hugely excited to recieve this ink stick, and on opening the parcel was even more surpised find a beautiful origami crane nestled inside! The ink stick is simply stunning, and I can't wait to gift it to a good friend who is just starting out in calligraphy. I'm touched by the warm service by Inchi, and am grateful they have ensured this treausure arrived safe and well, despite travelling all the way to the UK. Thank you again!
I made this painting using the amazing Saibiboku ( The Inks of Color and Beauty) from Kobaien in Nara, Japan. I have made a collage with some coloured circles and the Kobaien set's swatches a the bottom.
I used mostly Saibiboku, except for the super-black spots and vivid yellow ones. The blacks as well as gold bits and small ornaments are made with Posca markers. Vivid yellow is a nickel azo gold, new watercolour shade by Roman Szmal. Saibiboku is made with Sumi ink, which results in more muted, darker colours - that is why I I did not use it for the vivid yellows as it would be too dark. As for the other colours, from Saibiboku, I can easily make them lighter by adding water, like some of the lilac and pink bits.
It is a Kandinski-inspired composition, I should say. At least it reminds me of! It was great fun for this small piece to be completed, for there is a lot of details with the intersections and so on. As you can see, the Saibiboku's shades are easily coordinated, and the palette is a joy to work with! Thanks for watching!
Kobaien Earth Paper has an interesting texture as you can feel the small amount of earth in it.
It does buckle/crease with too much moisture, so I dry mounted it onto a 300gsm card and then I was able to build up many layers of colour with fine edges.
With the moisture in each layer the paper would swell slightly, but then dry flat.
Working in this way I was able to obtain depth of colour and subtlety of shading.
I used Suibokugayou Aozumi ink, Saibiboku colours with the addition of gamboge yellow and white.
Now that the painting is framed the paper seems to glow - it is quite exquisite. It took me a little while to get used to it, but I will definitely be using Earth Paper again.
It's a very high quality ink that helps me to create great works of art. Very beautiful black colour and beautiful shades. Even when very thinned with water this ink is still very subtle.
I am very pleased with the variety and selection of Uda Gami washi that I have received. The four color tones in my order: Akebi, Yomogi, Sakura, and Ai, are as pleasing to the eye as their texture. I feel honored to be a very small part of the tradition to which the Fukunishi family in Yoshino, Nara brings great honor.
Furthermore, my order was packaged with great care, and arrived safely and securely. The enclosed letter and handwritten remark brought a smile.
