【彩煙墨：紀州松煙】5 Black Sumi Ink

The charm of solid sumi ink lies in its ability to create depth with variations in sumi ink intensity, but what further enhances the range of expression while leveraging the unique characteristics of sumi ink is the Saienboku Series by Kishu Shoen.
From the vibrant and translucent hues of the "Rainbow Set" to the "Sumi Gosai" set, which expresses the world of Japanese aesthetics through subtle variations in color, there is a rich variety of color options available.
The "Sumi Gosai" set offers a subtle blue, purple, brown, red, and green tinge to black ink. It is recommended for those who use Seiboku (blue hue sumi ink), Chaboku (brown hue sumi ink), and similar colors.

墨 Kishu Sumi

With its deep mountains and ancient pine trees, Kishu was an ideal location for pine soot production. For generations, this region has been a key supplier of pine soot to Nara, where the majority of sumi ink sticks are manufactured.

Kishu sumi also boasts a historical significance, as it received the endorsement of Tokugawa Yoshimune, a shogun from the Kii Tokugawa clan, becoming the official sumi ink used by the shogunate.

Mr. Horiike still continues to produce pine soot using the traditional "shoji-burning method. Currently, Mr. Horiike is the only one who continues to produce pine-soot in Japan.
