Calligraphy Set – Ujo-bori

The Art of Movement, the Elegance of Carved Wood
An exceptional set dedicated to the art of shakyo (sutra copying), where each tool celebrates both the beauty of the stroke and the stillness of the moment.
The ink box, crafted in Ujo-bori, a rare specialty of Okayama Prefecture, reveals engraved wooden motifs: the Bizen butterfly, the sacred deer, and the symbol of prosperity, all bearers of harmony and meaning.

A Masterpiece That Matures with Time
The Ujo-bori technique reveals the wood’s grain through delicate carving, enhanced by successive layers of tinted lacquer.
The result is a vibrant material, both robust and precious, that deepens in radiance over time.
A case inspired by Okayama Castle, known as “Ujo,” the Castle of the Crow.

A Tribute to Japanese Calligraphy
Designed as a companion for meditation, this set brings together carefully selected elements that blend utility, tradition, and the poetry of the brushstroke.
A rare gift, perfect for oneself or for those who cherish the connection between beauty and writing.
