Eikichisai — one of Japan’s finest traditional vermilion seal pastes.
A traditional Japanese neri-shu used by calligraphers and seal engravers where an ordinary ink pad will not do. Made to bring out the full character of a hand-finished seal.
Why this material
- Rich, warm vermilion — deep, dignified, and quietly elegant on the page.
- Paste, not liquid — sits slightly raised on the paper, with no bleed.
- Long-lasting colour: the impression stays sharp for decades to come.
Who it’s for
For calligraphers, seal engravers, and owners of fine hand-finished hanko who want a paste worthy of the piece pressing it.
