About the Sumi 墨 colorway
Sumi is the black of calligraphy ink, ground from soot and glue. A black colorway gives a traditional motif a bold, graphic, modern edge.
About Kuginuki
Kuginuki takes its shape from the washer of a traditional nail-puller — a square frame around a diamond.
The motif abstracts the metal seat (zagane) of the kuginuki tool used by carpenters to pull nails. It became a popular geometric pattern and a family crest, valued as much for its pun as its form.
