Ink sticks from Kyukyodo

Hong Kong, August 2021

我常常買東西。今次我在日本品牌鳩居堂的樂天市場到買了兩條墨條。一條是五星紅花,另一條是京都香墨。這是小數我會為新買的東西影相又出post的一次購物。

包裝紙很美麗。墨條嗅起來是線香的氣味,我很喜歡。另外墨條的質素都很好,亦十分乾淨。我現在都是用京都香墨來畫畫的。十分喜歡墨色中的藍調。

非常滿意這次的收穫。

I often buy things. This time I bought two ink sticks from a Japanese brand Kyukyodo on their Rakuten page -- 五星紅花 and 京都香墨. It is one of the few times that I make photos and have a post dedicated to my new purchase.

The wrapping is beautiful. The inks sticks smell incense which I like a lot. The quality of the ink sticks is good and very clean. I have been painting with 京都香墨 since then. I love the blueness of its ink.

Super happy with this purchase.
它的店是在京都!/ Its shop is in Kyoto!
鳩 in Chinese means pigeon. Another meaning is penis. But this word carrying different meaning is pronounced differently.
