Collection: Gold, Silver, & Special Ink

KIN・GIN・TOKUSHUBOKU

Inks that radiate presence

When practicing sutra copying, a darker (blacker), glossier, and smoother-flowing ink is used compared to ordinary ink.
Normally, grinding standard ink thick makes it sticky and difficult to write with,
but sutra-copying ink is specially formulated to avoid such stickiness.
Special inks such as gold ink and silver ink are used when writing on sutra paper in deep blue or indigo colors.

When gold or silver characters stand out against a calm background color,
they create a sense of luxury and deepen the feeling of reverence.
