Review: Smooth ink - This ink stick is really smooth and has varying color depth. It has a slight tint to blue. This ink can also be used in fountain pens and dip pens. Just make sure you use all the ink you make since it does smell after a few days. Although the smell doesn't stay once dry, it is unpleasant when using it. I made the thickest darkest ink I could and it does not have much bleeding on most papers. The heavier softer papers are not optimal for this ink as it is water based and it will fan out big time. Rice paper works really well with it. I also used a brush pen and it was just beautiful to work with. I definitely recommend to everyone! This ink will last a long time if stored correctly. Review: Recommended - Recommended. Good dark ink, good color. Pleasant fragrance. Beautiful design almost hate to use the ink. Versatile and fun to use. The large stick will last a long time. ## Features - Fine for beginning and students. - Ink stick size:2.5*10*1cm/ 1*3.9*0.39inches Weight: 31g (1.09 oz) Package: paper box. - The ink lines with smooth and bright luster.

Beautiful design almost hate to use the ink. Versatile and fun to use. The large stick will last a long time. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ not bad *by J***E on October 27, 2020* Not dark enough for calligraphy purpose. But, you get what you paid for ! update 12/21/2021: ok, I was critical. you have to grind it to break the first several layers then you will get easier and decent dark ink. add one star. Good value ! Today 08/09/2025, I try the other one. beaware this is a different type ink ,which can have many shade of darkness . It is very decent. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hukaiwen Ink Block Handmade Oil Smoke Ink Stick for Chinese Japanese Calligraphy and Painting Jbh 31g - Kuretake Natural Ink Stone SEIRAN for Calligraphy Ink Stick, Palette, Indian Ink, Lettering Art, Japanese Traditional Calligraphy and Painting, Professional Quality - Shanlian Hubi Writing Brush Chinese Calligraphy Brush Set Kanji Japanese Sumi Painting Drawing Brushes 10 Piece/Set+Roll-up Bamboo Brush Holder --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/24234361-handmade-oil-smoke-ink-stick-for-chinese-japanese-calligraphy-painting](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/24234361-handmade-oil-smoke-ink-stick-for-chinese-japanese-calligraphy-painting) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
