Boku-Undo Stick Inks
These hand-made inks come from Boku-Undo in Nara, Japan. Ewan Clayton's selection is based on his personal use and a visit he made to the company to test their materials. They are one of the last family-run ink stick makers, with the company craft reaching back 12 generations.
These are some of the finest inks you will find, with high standards of quality craftsmanship. The black and metallic ink sticks come in exquisite wood boxes which serve as humidity controlled storage boxes. The average ink stick will produce enough ink for 300+ sessions of writing, and can last centuries.
