Collection: 墨 Sumi made from oil-soot
Created from the soot produced by burning vegetable oils such as rapeseed oil. Thick dark sumi ink presents a glossy and deep black color with a sense of depth. The color may vary depending on the type of vegetable oil used. Light sumi ink, on the other hand, has a faintly brown hue, providing a fine-grained three-dimensional effect.
