Unused, fine particle rapeseed oil soot ink, gold-wrapped "Yukiyama Ink." * Available for 1400 yen/piece with combined shipping discount (see below). The amazing thing about this ink is that it uses natural borneol and buffalo glue. Natural borneol (photo 4) is included for reference. Borneol is a sap extracted from the borneol tree found in Indonesia. It is an endangered species and protected by the Washington Convention. I've seen people write about the scent of natural borneol in ink, but that's impossible. Photo 4 shows the natural borneol I have, and it's expensive. The fragrance currently used in ink is synthetic borneol made from camphor, like "Tansu ni Gon." Natural borneol cannot be used in solid ink because it would be too expensive. However, this ink uses natural borneol. The difference between synthetic and natural borneol. You probably won't understand it from words, but it has a very complex, relaxing fragrance. With that natural borneol ink, the buffalo glue is high-quality glue. This is a well-made ink, an old ink (the side says Showa 63, Hinoe-Tatsu, which means it's from 1988), and it's a 35-year-old, well-matured ink! There's no way it's not a good ink. Actually, I don't know why it can be sold at this price. (lol) I think it's especially good for ink painting, kana, and kanji where you want to make the lines and bleeding clear. The scent of ink is different between synthetic and natural borneol. Synthetic borneol is sharp. Natural borneol has a soft, broad, and fluffy fragrance. However, even with synthetic borneol, if the ink is ground finely on a good inkstone (hmm? my inkstone. (lol)), the fragrance will be broad and fluffy. The combination of my inkstone and this ink. I think you can enjoy the original scent of the ink. You'll understand if you compare it to others. Dimensions: 100 x 25 x 11mm Weight: 43g (3-cho type) * The ink has been stored in a dedicated ink storage, so both the box and the ink are clean. #minisuta ink ↑ Ink list will appear.
