北京一得閣中華墨汁250毫升Chung Hwa Calligraphy Ink 250ml

This award-winning bottled ink is made in Beijing, China for calligraphy and brush painting.

It is a permanent and lightfast sumi ink.  

It can be used straight from the bottle for its 'super' black intensity or mixed with water to get various gray tones.

It dries quickly and won't run or bleed when re-wetted during wash or wet-mounting.

If the ink gets dry on the palette, just add water to melt it and it can be used again (unlike the Japanese bottled ink, which cannot be re-wetted and reused once it dries).

It's recommended to both beginning and advanced sumi or watercolor artists to use.
