Thank you for viewing. Sumi Ink: Kuretake, Shodo Kansei This ink grinds quickly and is a pure black ink for large format works. It has a sense of weight when used in a thick concentration, and when diluted, it produces a light tea-purple ink color, making it recommended for artwork. Although it is new and unused, there is some soiling on the box due to storage. I would be happy if someone could use it. Thank you for your consideration.
