Review: A decent quality and inexpensive Sumi ink for drawing or lettering - I have used this ink for quite some time and I would make the following comments: 1. It is a decent sumi type ink and benefits from slight dilution 2. It is not remotely waterproof, but sumi ink never is 3. The nozzle dispenser is a good idea which prevents spills 4. It produces good ink washes if required in drawings 5. It is very black when undiluted 6. It should never be used in a fountain pen - it will clog the feed 7. It is excellent value for money, especially when compared to Kuretake 8. On water colour paper it can show interesting textured granulation
Review: Great ink and bottle. - I don’t have much experience but I love this product. The ink is nice and smooth and the bottle lid is really well designed to reduce mess and pour unused ink back in. I have only used it with a small brush for writing in cards so far, but I’ve done loads of practice with it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this ink made of animal glue? Just realised that's what traditional sumi ink is made of and that freaks me out a lot**
A: To my knowledge Sumi ink is a carbon based ink or was in the past from 
burning wood rather like charcoal

**Q: Will this ink ruin fountain pens?**
A: Yes, it will clog the feed

**Q: Does this smell funny when you use it?**
A: I've never had my nose close enough to my ink pot to notice a smell so I can't say with confidence that it does or doesn't smell. I've never noticed.

**Q: why is this so expensive? It's more than 10x that of other brands and seems same as the Kuretake brand which is about £25.00.  Is it much superior?**
A: Japanese inks are always more expensive as they are better quality but Kuretake Calligraphy ink is superb and I use it all of the time so save yourself some money and buy Kuretake

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great ink and bottle.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very thick ink.
*by A***R on 8 July 2020*

As a relative beginner, I found this ink a little hard to handle. It was very thick and rather blobby. However, after adding a few drops of water it became more manageable.
