Product information

天然膠系油煙墨汁。墨色黑中帶紫，延展性佳、運筆輕快。書寫後紙張也不易皺為其優點。濃淡皆適。

volume(量): 500ml

weight(重量) : 700grams

**Special shipping boxes are used for sumi liquid ink because of the large size of its container. Therefore, the weight of that box, additional 250 gram, will be added at shopping cart.

This ink is finished in a dark purple-blue color, which is said to be the best color.

The ink has a good stretch, is light to handle, and does not wrinkle easily even after it dries.

This ink is finished to a normal density, so it can be used right away without modification.

Even when the color is lightened, the overlapping of brush strokes can be expressed beautifully.

This product contains artificial chemical preservatives. It is not for use on tattoos.

A very quality ink

I praised the ink for not hindering the smoothness of the brush movement, and for its fragrance and staying power, remaining usable overnight without drying up.

我称赞这种墨水不会影响笔刷的流畅度，而且香气浓郁，持久耐用，可保持一整夜而不干涸。

I'm amazed at the quality!

It's a very high quality ink that helps me to create great works of art. Very beautiful black colour and beautiful shades. Even when very thinned with water this ink is still very subtle.

Akebi gray ( plant dye ) , 宇陀紙・あけび Uda Gami Washi ( traditional Japanese paper ) ( plant dye ) , Uda Gami Washi ( traditional Japanese paper )

Most Excellent

I am very pleased with the variety and selection of Uda Gami washi that I have received. The four color tones in my order: Akebi, Yomogi, Sakura, and Ai, are as pleasing to the eye as their texture. I feel honored to be a very small part of the tradition to which the Fukunishi family in Yoshino, Nara brings great honor.

Furthermore, my order was packaged with great care, and arrived safely and securely. The enclosed letter and handwritten remark brought a smile.

Ichi Inc. continues to impress.

Beautiful ink

The color is beautiful and the range of shades is outstanding from dark black to blueish gray. The ink has a very smooth feel as it is applied to the paper.

Ink stone

Lovely smooth stone good weight and great to see the ink pool at the dip. Its useful because the ink has plenty of room to move about and it does not spill. You can easily swill the brush to mop up remaining ink - well worth the buy
