You can certainly use these sticks to do traditional Japanese
Sumi-E if you choose to. The ink is good quality. However, the new trend is
to use them in collage, altered books and as card embellishments.
The stick is decorated front and back in metallic gold and copper
ink. The stick size is 7/8" W x 3 7/8" H x 3/8" D. This particular
stick comes boxed.
If you choose to use it as an ink stick and need a stone ink
grinding well please see the separate listing in our store.
