錦光園
現在、6代目の永野氏が息子とともに奈良県で営業されている錦光園は、先祖代々受け継がれてきた伝統的な手法で墨を作り続けています。
Amazed by the sophisticated scent of the ink that comes drifting in the air thanks to the Ryu-noh (borneol) resin and the calming effect on the mind through repetitive hand movement during the Sumi preparation by rubbing the Sumi ink on a Suzuri stone. This is a pure Zen meditation, practiced over centuries in Japan.
The time-consuming whole-making process of Sumi ink takes 4 months to even a few years - it starts with burning oil lamps to collect soot which is later blended with gelatin and Ryu-noh (borneol) resin, kneaded together, molded in a kashi-gata and let dry afterward.
Ryu-noh (borneol) is a precious crystallized resin used in Eastern medicine as well as in Japanese incense, this natural material is sourced from the Borneo camphor tree.
