半丁型の仮名にも使える純黒の墨で平成七年に作られた墨ですので、古墨とまでは言えませんが程よく枯れております。 こちら実は制作時期によって香り強め弱めの濃淡がありますので、ご注文の時に言ってくだされば、ある内は対応させていただきます。 カモミールの香りにはリラックス効果、抗炎症作用、肉体疲労の軽減などの効果が期待できます、なーんてAIは言っております。 磨る前からほのかにカモミールの香りが漂い、磨るほどにいい香りがしてきます。 Pure Black Inkstick (Half Size) – Lightly Aged with a Hint of Chamomile This pure black inkstick (hanchogata, half size) is suitable for kana calligraphy and was produced in 1995 (Heisei 7). While it may not qualify as a true koboku (antique ink), it has aged gracefully and matured in character over time. It was handcrafted by Genshodo, a renowned ink maker based in Nara, a region long known as the birthplace of Japanese ink. Interestingly, the intensity of its chamomile scent varies slightly depending on the production batch. If you have a preference for stronger or lighter fragrance, feel free to mention it when ordering—we’ll do our best to accommodate you while supplies last. According to AI (or so it says!), chamomile is known to promote relaxation, reduce inflammation, and ease physical fatigue. Even before grinding, you may notice a gentle floral aroma, which deepens pleasantly as you begin to use the ink.
