Product information

Suzushiro takes its name from an old, poetic word for daikon, Japanese radish — the same word that names one of the seven herbs of spring.

 Fittingly, the ink itself is made from daikon-seed oil smoke worked with fine glue, giving a dark black that's especially fine, smooth, and light on the stone.

Ground dark, the colour settles into a calm, shallow black; thinned, it turns grayish and faintly blue. Its softness suits characters built from many curves — the ink seems to follow the brush's turns rather than resist them.
