- Ensure you put the cap back on immediately after use, this is applicable even if you’re just temporarily switching colors
- Store your brush pens horizontally to ensure the ink doesn’t congregate at the bottom of the pens
To clean your water brush pen, simply squeeze the water through the chamber until it reaches the brush tip, then wipe it gently on a towel or paper towel. Repeat this step into your brush tip is entirely clean. #DryBrushHair

I’ve been looking for an inkstick with natural (not synthetic) fragrance. Could you recommend some from your collection? Thanks a lot!
I recommend you Duke Asian fountain pen. I got this today and was very pleasantly surprised by the quality, fit, and finish given the pen’s price. The engraving on the cap and the details are fantastic. It’s absolutely beautiful! I loaded it up with Sailor black pigment ink and it writes very well. It’s so easy to vary the width of your lines because of the fude nib. Writing looks very nice and formal. #CalligraphyInkstick
Does anyone have experience with mounting Hobotai silk to paper? I will be mounting several monotype prints on silk to paper for an artist. The monotype printing is done with acrylic and soy-based inks (non-water soluble) and the application is thick- completely absorbed through the silk from the front to the back. My instinct would be to use starch paste but my concern is that the paste will not stick to the non-absorbent ink areas. I have used Rhoplex-N580 adhesive successfully mounting thin papers to heavier sheets (chine collé). But I worry that the silk may be too sheer, allowing the Rhoplex to bleed through to the front surface. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Hello, greetings from the UK. I inherited this fan and have been trying to learn more about the fan, the signature, age and full translation of the kanji. I believe the fan is Chinese and likely to be over 50 years old. A Japanese friend thought it includes 雪→snow 雨→rain 江→mouth of river 澪→waterways n the calligraphy, but I would love to know more. Kindest regards
Hi all , I’m looking for a VERY DARK black pine soot or matte finish inkstick, can anyone recommend one ?
This is probably a silly question, but how many inkstones to I need for painting? If I just have one, if I want to use a different colour I have to clean the inkstones and brushes. If again I want to use a new colour I have to wash again. Do you use more than one when you paint a coloured painting to stop all this washing?
