【奈良墨：錦光園】KOKI

Nara Sumi, known for its purity with almost no impurities, fine and uniform particles, and a deep glossy color, boasts enduring popularity due to its beautiful ink color and the pleasant feel when writing or drawing.
It's noteworthy that over 90% of the solid ink used in Japan is produced in Nara Prefecture, contributing to its well-deserved reputation.

When ground thick, its sumi black is deep and rich. When ground thin, it produces a slightly aged light sumi black, showcasing a well-balanced product that exhibits qualities such as seepage, contrast, and baseline. With a unique design featuring chrysanthemum patterns covering all sides, it has become the most popular product from KINKOEN."
