墨 Colored Sumi

Mr. Horiike is the first sumi ink stick artisan in Japan who developed and introduced colored sumi ink stick or “Saiemboku.

After being featured and gaining popularity in the book 'Gokujouhin in the Study' (published by Shogakukan Bunko), he has continued to expand his product line as the SAIEMBOKU series, introducing various colors, and now the color variations exceed 40.
