This sumi is a very concentrated solution and not meant to be used straight from the bottle. It must be diluted with at least three parts water. This will give a range of transparent tones. Use water that is 68 degrees F/ 20 degrees C to make the best light tone of sumi color. Wait for a period of time after thinning for a more transparent tone.

This sumi cannot be mixed with stick ink.

Size: 100ml

Suiboku-ga / Sumi-e : A monochrome ink painting technique not to simply reproduce the appearance of the subject, but seeks to capture its soul!

Suiboku-ga, also called Sumi-e, reached its height in the Muromachi period (1338–1573) with such masters as Sesshū Tōyō, whose landscapes were uniquely Japanese, and Sesson Shūkei, who worked in the far northeast of Japan.
