For over 150 years, KINKOEN has faithfully preserved the tradition of time-honored methods in handcrafting Nara Sumi ink.
Among their premium offerings, the sumi ink made from pure pine soot is particularly noteworthy. It captures the very essence of pine, delivering subtle gradations and soft, enjoyable hues. The quality is immediately felt in its smooth texture when ground.
Adding to its prestige, the back of the ink stick features a deep carving by a master mold artisan, depicting the playful antics of nine children (Kyushien). This pine soot sumi ink stands as a premium example of craftsmanship and enduring tradition.
