SUMI INK STICKS
Grinding ink is an integral part of the process of
brush painting. It is the Zen activity that stills the mind and prepares the soul for a
communication beyond words.
When the heart and mind are one, the true essence is
expressed through the brush onto the rice paper. Use these ink sticks and find the
infinite variety of color/shades in the ink to express your true essence.
Grind the ink stick on an ink stone 10,000 times or
until you love it, cherishing the aroma of the freshly ground ink. Tip your moistened
brush with water, into the dense black ink and notice the array of shades that are
available to you.
We carry a wide variety of quality and sizes of ink
sticks, whether you are a beginner or a collector.
