Product information

Sei — 正, meaning "straight" or "true" — is a rapeseed oil-smoke ink made for e-tegami, the Japanese tradition of hand-painted illustrated letters.

Thinned, it opens into a vivid, bright purplish tone, prized for its warmth on paper as much as its precision.

Hong Kong painter Eva Tsang, who has used the stick in her own work, described it as carrying an amazing ripe-plum colour tone — one that, mixed with red, blooms into the fresh hue of a plum just coming into season.
