Mr. Masao Horiike's Gold and Silver Sumi ink sticks are a groundbreaking addition to the artist's palette. The central feature is their unique compatibility: you can enjoy the pure gold and silver colors individually, or combine them seamlessly with other solid sumi inks for limitless expression.
Like traditional sumi, these metallic sticks are ground on an inkstone. Their excellent blendability allows you to create blended metallic colors by mixing them directly with regular sumi, or to add brilliant highlights by layering them over existing ink-drawn surfaces. This makes them ideal for traditional sumi-e, suibokuga (ink painting), ink wash, and calligraphy.
To use, grind the stick on an inkstone to a density equal to or slightly darker than your regular sumi ink. For the most dramatic metallic effect, let the ground ink sit for about five minutes. The metallic particles will settle, and you can then carefully discard the excess liquid on top before use. The impact of the gold and silver is beautifully intensified when applied to strongly dyed or dark paper.
