There are several other cheap auto sumi inkstick grinding machines on the market. Why do you recommend this model?
There are several reasons for this.
The first is that Kobaien is seriously involved from development to sales. We have heard that Kobaien has developed the special inkstone that can best bring out the best of the world's finest its sumi inktick, and that it has the best rotation speed of the inkstone.
Second, it is easy to change the amount of sumi ink. If you want to use a lot of sumi ink, you can set up two ink sticks. When you do not need so much ink solution, you can set only one ink stick.
Thirdly, the sturdiness of this product. The following is a photo of LUNLUN received from a user in Taiwan, who has been using it for more than ten years since its purchase.
LUNLUN runs following the electrical specifications in Japan. When using LUNLUN outside of Japan, be sure to use LUNLUN with a proper power transformer and power plug adapter that match your country‘s electrical specifications.
LUNLUN may break down and cause a serious accident if used without a proper power transformer and power plug adapter. You may need to buy the power transformer and power plug adapters by yourself. For more information, consult a local electrical specialist.
Kobaien and ICHI inc will not be held liable for any accidents or defects caused by the use of LUNLUN outside of Japan. Please understand this in advance before purchasing and using LUNLUN.

A very special brush
This is the second handmade brush I have had the pleasure of ordering from Ms Chiyomi Tanaka through Keitaro from Ichi inc., Japan.
Ms Chiyomi is one of the last few master brush makers in Nara, the spiritual home of the Japanese art of Shodo. I recommend watching the YouTube video interview of Ms Chiyomi and her brush-making process.
I find that with using a brush like this, the artwork carries the spirit of both me and the artist who made the brush, making it doubly special. I am very much looking forward to buying from Ichi inc. again!
Ces encres sont extraordinaires ! Leurs qualités sont multiples: densité de teinte, variété des teintes, grande fluidité sitôt broyée et profondeur des tons très impressionnants! Après avoir longuement cherché des encres qui me conviennent, je recommande à 100%. Et la transaction avec la firme qui les fabrique n’a pas de défaut j’ai toujours été très satisfait de leur efficacité et de leur sérieux: très fiable en plus d’être très efficace.

Fantastic larger-sized pure wool calligraphy brush
A lovely larger-sized pure wool calligraphy brush which allows a far greater range of expression than more rigid beginner’s brushes. I am glad to have a piece of excellent craftsmanship from one of Nara’s last master brush-making artisans. Thanks for the fast dispatch!
I love this watercolour and it is my favourite from a set I bought. I was so delighted to find I could buy it as a single colour and also in a set of 6. I will be buying more of my favourites from the set. Professional lovely company to buy from.
