Review: It’s good for beginners trying calligraphy - 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. Review: Very Opaque - I am fairly new to the world of dip-ink calligraphy and drawing with dip-ink so I don't have a great deal of experience with dip inks, but I have purchased 3 other types of black ink (Windsor & Newton, SpeedBall, and Higgins Eternal) and in comparison it is by far the most opaque, which I like. I have found that within the dip-ink medium there are a lot of variables that factor into the final output, such as the style of the nib holder, the nib, the paper used, and of course the ink itself. This is my favorite all-purpose ink for drawing and calligraphy. I initially put this ink into a small shallow container and dipped my nibs into it, but I now prefer to put some of this ink in a small bottle with a dropper and use the dropper to apply ink directly to the nib just because it's less messy for me that way. I think it's a good value because although it costs more compared to other brands, the bottle is a lot larger than the ink from the other brands. I will definitely buy more when I run out, but I think this bottle will last a long time. ## Features - Water-Resistant - Once dried, this artist ink exhibits water-resistant properties, making it suitable for layering with other water-based products like watercolors or markers - Smudge Proof - Made from carbon black pigment, this black ink that is available in a 2oz, 6oz and 12oz ink bottle, won't smudge or smear once it dries on unsized papers, allowing for more artistic expression - Versatile - This heavily pigmented art ink is versatile, allowing for dilution with water to create soft, pale washes and grey tones. It can also be mixed with gum arabic, acrylic medium, or fabric medium for application on surfaces beyond traditional rice paper - Matte Finish - Ideal for use as calligraphy ink, manga ink and intricate detailing, this ink achieves a flawless, matte finish even when diluted - Inspiring Creativity Since 1954 - Yasutomo's mission is to inspire creativity by offering innovative art materials fusing Eastern and Western cultures to provide unique, reliable supplies for those seeking creative experiences ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Brand | Yasutomo | | Container Type | Bottle | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00031248012777 | | Ink Color | Black | | Item Volume | 6 fluid ounces | | Manufacturer | Yasutomo | | Package Information | Bottle | | Paint Type | Oil | | Volume | 6 fluid ounces | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Yasutomo - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00031248012777 - **Item Volume:** 6 Fluid Ounces - **Package Information:** Bottle - **Paint Type:** Oil ## Images ![Bokuju Liquid Ink - 6oz Sumi Ink for Calligraphy and Artwork - Black Drawing Ink for use with Japanese Ink Brushes and Dip Pens - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61V8QLTfhdL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It’s good for beginners trying calligraphy *by T***D on September 20, 2020* I’m just starting out calligraphy so a lot of places recommended this brand for beginners.

It has been a wonderful ink for me to learn with and works beautifully with my Nikko G nib and 32# laserjet paper. Although I live in Georgia, a pretty humid state, I have had to dilute it to avoid ink blobs, but that's perfectly fine because the bottle lasts longer! You will have to pour this ink into a dip pen-friendly bottle, but the pour spout makes it easy. I also love the woodsy smell of this ink. This is a great value for a wonderful ink! :) ## Frequently Bought Together - Yasutomo Bokuju Liquid Ink - 6oz Sumi Ink for Calligraphy and Artwork - Black Drawing Ink for use with Japanese Ink Brushes and Dip Pens - SEAMEW 10-Piece Chinese Calligraphy Brush Set Sumi Brush Set- Premium Writing Brushes with Roll-up Bamboo Brush Holder - Emooqi Watercolor Paint Set, 48 Colors Including 6 Metallic Colors in Portable Box, Travel Watercolor Set with Watercolor Papers and Brushes, Water Color Kits for Beginners & Artists --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/5915397-bokuju-liquid-ink-6oz-sumi-ink-for-calligraphy-and-artwork](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/5915397-bokuju-liquid-ink-6oz-sumi-ink-for-calligraphy-and-artwork) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-17*
