## Overview

Yasutomo Sumi Ink Stick Artist Quality delivers authentic, deep black and subtle gray tones through traditional grinding. Compact and certified for premium quality, it’s favored by professional artists for its organic texture and consistent performance, making it an essential tool for refined Asian ink painting and creative expression.

## Description

When ground in a suzuri stone with water these ink sticks produce ink that can be used to make deep black tones and subtle variations of gray. They are ideal for creating beautiful Asian ink paintings. The artist grade stick (YOSSB700) is made in Taiwan packaged in a paper box and peggable plastic bag. The professional quality ink stick (YOSSB900) is made in Japan and is packaged in a sturdy, paper box. The dot on the end of the box indicates the higher quality ink. Each stick measures 5/8"w x 3/8"d x 2-3/4"h.

Review: I used to be a comic book inker (I’m still an illustrator but I don’t do comics anymore). Ink is very important to me. I still love India ink but even diluted, you get hard edges in your tones and it can be difficult to manage. There’s something organic about stick sumi ink that gives you subtlety and your denser tones don’t become reflective adding emphasis where you don’t want it. It feels and looks different. A friend of mine that’s an abstract artist has an obsession with high quality materials. He bought a stick of sumi ink for something ridiculous. I think it was over $200. I can verify that using his ink then using this… side by side… there’s no discernible difference. Do I know for sure it’s the best ink money can buy? I don’t. At least I can verify it is high quality enough to meet the standards of someone that paints for over 3,000 hours a year
Review: I rely on Yasutomo inks and other supplies. With an inkstone, add water gradually, hold the stick upright and grind gently in circles. You can experiment to learn what ink fluidity you like. I recommend counting the water you add by spoonful - so you can re-create your favorite inks, thick or thin.

*by R***L on 4 May 2025*

The quality of this ink is very good for the price. I find that using an ink stick is exceedingly difficult to me, so I tried a few times and switched to ready-to-use ink. This is absolutely NOT the product’s fault but my own. Anyway , beware that using ink sticky is very hard labor and requires a lot of patience (much more than I am willing to give it just to write a few kanji for practice and fun).
