By taking the harmony of the clarity and muddiness of the ink stick, its thickness is the elegance. We gave it a fair amount of three-dimensionality along with a beautiful bleeding, and finished it as an elegant ink stick with warmth overall. For the light ink stick, there is a thickness and red purple color (warmth) within a bright feel, and it is an elegant bluish purple. For the thick ink stick, it is a blue-type black with thickness and absorbability where the sharpness and depth can be felt. It can be used for hanging scrolls in kanji, small number of characters, and kana. Thick to extra light ink sticks can be used. As it gets older, we believe the ink stick calms in color, and its three-dimensionality, sharpness, personality, and features grow stronger. Manufactured in 1996
