    This is my favourite ink! The purplish hue gives the black great depth at any strength of wash.

    いいい いいい

    The inkstick ground so easily and smelt so beautiful, I could happily grind ink all day and never do any painting!

    How does KOBAIEN ( 古梅園 ) make sumi inksticks in Japan?

    How do you grind inksticks?

    Ms. Junko Azukawa, a contemporary calligrapher and ink painter in Australia, explains how to use stickinks.
