Yasutomo SUMI INK 6OZ BLK

I’m just starting out calligraphy so a lot of places recommended this brand for beginners. I really do like it, I think it works very well. I have tried a few other inks, like Daiso(Sumi), Daler Rowney(India ink), and Dr. Ph Martin(India ink and iridescent calligraphy ink). I think Daiso is exactly like this except that one is cheaper than Yasutomo. I showed a comparison of just down/up strokes between the two and they were pretty much the same. I had to redip my pen just as much as the other. Also they look identical. I think India ink lasts a little bit longer and I don’t have to redip as much as Sumi. However, this product is nice and I would definitely get it again. It has a nozzle that makes it really easy to pour out into another container and seals back up without leaking. It’s only been about two weeks since I got it but I moved it to a different container then and it doesn’t have any signs of drying up around the edges at all, so that’s a plus.

I believe the bottle is 6oz, and for a fountain reffilable pen, you’ve got enough ink to tought quite a while. The only downside can be the smell but that is fine to for the price

Excelente producto, una de las mejores marcas en tinta china para cualquier trabajo de arte. Muy recomendable.

I really like this ink works on a wet surface, and I added salt.

Nice ink. We also like that fact that it does not have that strange odour that chinese inks sometimes gives out after a while.
