Description
“Asumi”—
a name that embodies the heart that cherishes sumi ink.
The soft black of camellia oil soot ink breathes softly on paper, and the ink absorbed by the brush glides smoothly and lightly.
It grinds quickly, offering the comfort of aligning with your thoughts right from the start. Yet, in rich black, it exudes a deep, profound black.
The subtle nuances, transitions, and evocative charm in kana—
“Asumi” is Kuretake’s finest sumi ink for kana, beautifully bringing out all these qualities.
Camellia oil soot ink spreads well and offers a soft writing feel suitable for kana. When dark, it presents a profound, pure black; when light, it exhibits a moist and deep ink color with a purplish-blue tint.
