Product information

Ume Ichirin — 梅 (ume, plum blossom) 一 (ichi, one) 輪 (rin, a single bloom) — depicts a single plum blossom, the very symbol of Kobaien itself, the flower for which the house was named centuries ago.

Belonging to Shitsuboku, the grade held to be the finest of all Kobaien inksticks, it's made from ultra-fine, superb rapeseed-oil soot: pushed dark, a glossy, deep black; thinned, a warm brownish black, equally suited to sutra copying, calligraphy, or ink painting.

One customer, having received this alongside two other Kobaien sticks, called them absolutely beautiful and said it was an honour to work with such quality.

Another simply praised the ink's beauty and the care taken in how it arrived.

SIZE: 1.5 ( Width: 24 mm Length: 100 mm Thickness: 8 mm Weight:26.8 grams ( inkstick only ), 41grams ( inclucing paulownia wood box )
