About this craft

The sumitsubo (墨壺) is an iconic Japanese carpenter's tool, dating back centuries. Takumi preserves the traditional design with phosphor-bronze construction, used by carpenters across Japan to snap straight ink guidelines on wood—a method unchanged for generations.

Description

Traditional Japanese carpenter's chalk-line marker with bronze blade

Fill the chamber with carpenter's chalk-line ink (liquid or refillable cartridge). Rinse the blade tip regularly to prevent dried ink buildup. Store upright. The mechanism is entirely mechanical—no servicing required beyond occasional cleaning.
