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: simply best ink! - As far as I know, it's the best black ink you can find in the market.. as a calligrapher I have tried many different inks for traditional calligraphy and this one is definitely the best considering different aspects.. Obviously you must learn how to work with it.. on which paper, how much distilled water mix with it if needed, etc.

## 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

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ simply best ink!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.
