Holbein Sumi Ink Stick

Experience the traditional art of Sumi-e with the Holbein Sumi Ink Stick. Made from pure lamp black (soot) and pine resin, this classic ink stick allows artists and calligraphers to grind their own ink to the perfect consistency and concentration.

• Grind the ink stick in a circular motion until the desired concentration is reached.

• Use immediately for calligraphy or painting.
