Daiso Sumi Calligraphy Liquid Ink in a 180ml Bottle (Japan Import)

Richly dark yet watery enough to be easily grey if need be. It’s perfect for testing new brushes and paper! The size is big, you really don’t need as much as you’d think because of how high quality the ink is. Perfect for bordering and calligraphy, and possibly dip pens but I have yet to try them.

This Daiso Sumi Calligraphy Liquid Ink is a reliable choice for calligraphy enthusiasts. The ink flows smoothly and the color is rich and vibrant, making it perfect for both beginners and experienced artists. It washes off easily, which is a huge plus when working with delicate materials or cleaning up after use. The ink is also easy to use, with a consistency that makes it ideal for brush or dip pen calligraphy. For the price, it offers great quality and performance. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a dependable ink for their calligraphy projects!

I love the way this ink writes. It's smooth, doesn't bleed and has great color. The only down side is I have to dip my pen more often. But the amount of ink I received will go a lot farther than the smaller bottles of calligraphy ink specifically for pens. So I'm saving money.

Good liquid ink. I've used it for years. One of the best of the rest.

Great value for the money. The appearance was exactly as expected with great consistency. Perfect size bottle, great flow and drying time

I really liked this ink. I’m just learning calligraphy and I was able to use this ink just fine. A lot of people recommended the brand “Yasutamo” for beginners and this brand is exactly like theirs. I showed them next to each other, and you really can’t tell the difference. Mine arrived with a really nice consistency already. I didn’t need to add water to it or thicken it up or anything. I would definitely get this again and recommend it to others.

I bought this for an art project for my kids. I expected the bottle be a bit bigger, but I found it was plenty. The ink is dark and rich. It dried with a sheen, but solid. I found that for our purposes, I could even dilute it with some water and it still was very bold and opaque. A little really went a long way for us. I worried we would run out, but we used a tiny fraction. WELL worth the cost.

Wonderful ink for calligraphy (and drawing). Smooth and great consistency (not think, not thin) just make sure your nibs are oil free and clean and the ink will last you longer! Arrived on time sealed in shrink wrap (just wished for more cushioning beside Amazon bubble mailer. I wish they offer more colors. Highly recommended!

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

Perfect. High quality sumi without smell.

Ich mag diese Tinte. Unsere Familie hat viele Hobbys, und wir achten oft auf ein gutes Gleichgewicht zwischen Qualität und Preis. Die Tinte ist einfach in der Handhabung und besitzt eine wunderschöne, pigmentierte Farbe. Wir verwenden sie für *Sumi-e* (japanische Zeichnungen auf Reispapier).

Aanbevolen door een Japanse online Sumi E lerares. Erg handig als je veel wilt oefenen en 'in de flow' zit. Dan is het fijn als je de flow niet hoeft te onderbreken om inkt bij te maken.

Lovely, dark ink, really good black saturation, recommended.
