Solid inkstick

The quality of sumi ink is mainly determined by the ink's materials, the quality of the inkstone, the water quality, and the grinding method.
Among these, the quality of the sumi ink itself depends on the properties of the soot, the quality and quantity of the animal glue, and the kneading process.
Through many years of sumi ink making, Kuretake has meticulously examined all aspects of raw materials and processing.
The Kuretake sumi ink we deliver here is an exquisite product, offering a deep, elegant ink color that spreads well and has excellent bleed.
