What we liked

  • + Liquid sumi from oil soot, listed for traditional calligraphy and brush painting.
  • + The 180ml size matches the old pick and absorbs well into xuan paper, with a deep black luster.
  • + Made by an Anhui ink mill using traditional methods, per the listing.

Trade-offs

  • - Aimed at brush work on xuan paper, so pointed-pen use may suit it less.
  • - Little detail on waterproofing, and the listing text has spelling errors.
