Introducing
Western Calligraphy Handmade Ink
When I creating this handmade ink, the basic standards were hair-thin silkiness and rich, beautiful shadows. I put considerable effort into the consistency and wetness of the formula. The initial colors released are "Azure Blue," inspired by the Portuguese bricks of Macau, and "Dark Walnut," a classic ink for Western calligraphy.
