This is a type of bluish Sumi ink stick. A wonderful ink made from the smoke of the finest pine bark with ultra-fine particles.
It depicts a peach blossom, the symbol of love and prosperity in old China.
Why is gold leaf attached to ink sticks?
There are three reasons for this.
The first reason is, of course, the beauty of the ink.
The second reason is preservation. Gold is not subject to chemical change, so it is suitable for preserving the quality of the ink for long periods of time.
The third reason is practicality when creating works of art. For many years, many Japanese calligraphers have said that using liquid ink made with gold leaf-coated ink sticks makes it easier to draw soft lines. It is said that the gold particles help to make the brush strokes smoother. For this reason, ink sticks with gold leaf are said to be good for writing Kuzushiji ( Japanese cursive letters ).
