Gokujo Yuen ( superb oil smoke ) sumi ink sticks ( 極上油煙墨 油烟墨)

The main ingredient is superb rapeseed (canola) oil.

When painting dark black, the color is glossy. When painting pale black, it is brownish black.

Kinmaki means applying gold leaf. This is the most suitable ink for painting.

Why is gold leaf attached to inksticks? There are three reasons for this.

第一個原因當然是墨水的美感。

第二個原因是保存。黃金不受化學變化的影響，因此適合長時間保存油墨的品質。

第三個原因是創作時的實用性。多年來，許多日本書法家都表示，使用塗有金箔的墨水筆所製成的液態墨水更容易畫出柔和的線條。據說金箔顆粒有助於使筆觸更平滑。因此，塗有金箔的墨水筆被認為是書寫日本草書（Kuzushiji）的好幫手。
