Unused large, pure pine soot ink stick Refined Pine Soot Ink (6-cho size).
*With the bundled discount (below), we offer them at ¥2,200 per stick.
*Please see photos 6-8 for ink sample tests.

This is a pure pine soot ink stick made solely from the soot of Japanese red pine. It contains no dyes or pigments.

As this is aged ink that has been stored for a considerable time after manufacturing, it possesses a wonderful ink color.

In浓墨 (thick ink), it is a subdued black with no gloss.
In中淡墨 (medium-light ink), it has a clean blue-gray ink color with excellent blue tones.
It has a superb transparency, producing beautiful ink colors with subtle gradations.

It is ideal for Suibokuga (ink wash painting) but also suitable for Kana and Kanji where the ink color is to be emphasized.
It is excellent for artworks that utilize the ink's density, dryness, and gradations.

Although it is a rare spatula-shaped ink stick these days, it is surprisingly easy to hold and grind.

Dimensions: 133 x 40 x 20 mm (slight individual differences due to spatula shape)
Weight: 96g (6.5-cho size)
