Product information

Taihou — 大 (tai, big) 鳳 (hou, phoenix) — darkens fast once ground and dissolved, giving an elegant, soft black in its deeper tones, though it doesn't aim for subtlety in pale washes. I

t's a working ink, well suited to daily practice and to the broad gestures of large-paper pieces.

One customer praised it as the perfect inkstick for suminagashi, noting how well it grinds and how properly it floats on water — exactly what that ancient marbling technique demands.

A dependable, versatile stick built for artists who return to the same ink again and again.
