I-MART Sumi Ink for Chinese Calligraphy & Japanese Brush Art, Calligraphy Ink for Traditional Artworks, India Ink Black for Painting & Writing (8.5 fl oz, Black)

This sumi ink is a black liquid ink made for Chinese calligraphy, Japanese brush painting, and traditional Asian brush art. The 8.5 fl oz (250 mL) bottle holds enough ink for ongoing practice sessions, classroom art activities, or a personal studio supply, and the screw-on cap closure keeps the bottle stored upright between uses. The formulation is a water-based pigment ink built on carbon black, with a gum arabic binder for smooth flow on absorbent papers. This places the product in the same broad family as traditional India ink, and the fluid consistency loads well onto soft sumi-e brushes, Chinese calligraphy brushes, Japanese brushes, dip pens, and nib pens. Artists working in line drawing, character writing, manga line work, or gradient ink wash painting can also dilute the ink with water in a separate dish to vary the tone. Common ways customers use this ink: Chinese calligraphy practice on xuan paper, where the smooth flow supports both bold strokes and finer character lines. Japanese sumi-e and brush painting on rice paper, where water can be added in a separate dish to produce lighter tones for shading. Pen and ink drawing with dip pens or nib pens, where the liquid form removes the need for grinding an ink stick before each session. Specs: Container: bottle with screw-on cap.
