Liquid Sumi Ink

KF2 – 2 Oz Black Liquid Sumi Ink

This pre-mixed, permanent ink is made from the same high-quality soot as our sumi ink sticks. The bottle opening is wide enough to load ink for most brushes, and its cap conveniently doubles as a brush rest. Dries with a slight sheen and absorbs into paper slightly. When dried, KF series ink is more water-resistant that the KY series, which allows for unique glazing capabilities.

FAQ:

Q: If I use your ink for gyo-taku (fish printing), can I eat the fish afterward?

A: We do not recommend or make any claim that fish would be safe to consume after using our ink for gyo-taku.

However, our sumi inks have the AP non-toxic seal per the ACMI’s Toxicological Advisory Board, which certifies that our art materials are safe and certified in a toxicological evaluation by a board-certified toxicologist to contain no materials in sufficient quantities to be toxic or injurious to humans, including children, or to cause acute of chronic health problems.

KV2 – 2 Oz Vermilion Liquid Sumi Ink

Yasutomo vermilion ink is a rich, warm, red-orange color.

It is traditionally used in hand-lettered manuscripts, seals, and ink paintings. It is also commonly used in Asia by calligraphy instructors to correct students’ work.

This water-resistant ink is opaque and dries to a permanent matte finish.

Use directly from the bottle for dip pen calligraphy and brush painting. Mix with black ink to create a rich brown or warm black calligraphy ink.

Conforms to ASTM D-4236.

* Pro Tip * When used on washi (rice paper), expect the ink to soak in and spread into the absorbent paper. If you are using the ink for Western-style lettering on sized paper, add gum arabic. This will greatly reduce bleeding and fuzzy letters.
