It’s good for beginners trying calligraphy
I’m just starting out calligraphy so a lot of places recommended this brand for beginners. I really do like it, I think it works very well. I have tried a few other inks, like Daiso(Sumi), Daler Rowney(India ink), and Dr. Ph Martin(India ink and iridescent calligraphy ink). I think Daiso is exactly like this except that one is cheaper than Yasutomo. I showed a comparison of just down/up strokes between the two and they were pretty much the same. I had to redip my pen just as much as the other. Also they look identical. I think India ink lasts a little bit longer and I don’t have to redip as much as Sumi. However, this product is nice and I would definitely get it again. It has a nozzle that makes it really easy to pour out into another container and seals back up without leaking. It’s only been about two weeks since I got it but I moved it to a different container then and it doesn’t have any signs of drying up around the edges at all, so that’s a plus.

Very Opaque
I am fairly new to the world of dip-ink calligraphy and drawing with dip-ink so I don't have a great deal of experience with dip inks, but I have purchased 3 other types of black ink (Windsor & Newton, SpeedBall, and Higgins Eternal) and in comparison it is by far the most opaque, which I like. I have found that within the dip-ink medium there are a lot of variables that factor into the final output, such as the style of the nib holder, the nib, the paper used, and of course the ink itself. This is my favorite all-purpose ink for drawing and calligraphy. I initially put this ink into a small shallow container and dipped my nibs into it, but I now prefer to put some of this ink in a small bottle with a dropper and use the dropper to apply ink directly to the nib just because it's less messy for me that way. I think it's a good value because although it costs more compared to other brands, the bottle is a lot larger than the ink from the other brands. I will definitely buy more when I run out, but I think this bottle will last a long time.

Large volume for price. easy to work with
Ink will dry with a sheen if not diluted. Takes a while to dry fully but becomes pretty much water proof once it does. Design of the nozzle is good for controlled pours and cleanliness. Have not had any leaks yet. I feel confident with this in my bag but still keep it in a ziplock. I wish I bought this before I got other black inks for brush work because I probably would’ve stopped here. Way better deal than other 1-2 oz bottles for equal quality.

Not bad
This is a little more watery then what Im used to plus it doesn't have a smell to it like the calligraphy ink I'm used to. But it does give me my varity of shades of grey and black for my calligraphy painting.

Great ink for multimedia projects
This ink is nice and opaque. It held up great to a watercolor wash I put over it. I did let the ink dry for at least24 hours first. The ink smells a little funky, but I hear that's normal.

I like this sumi ink.
I like this sumi ink because it is somewhat water resistant. I have painted light watercolor washes and alcohol markers on top of ink after it has dried with decent results. I always gently shake the bottle really well before I use. This bottle doesn't seem to have shellac. There is a yasumoto sumi ink that comes in a green bottle that has shellac. I have other waterproof inks, but I like this brand of sumi best for now. The other inks I have are FW carbon ink, speedball super black, and several higgins. I jut happen to reach out for this 6oz bottle most of the time and it might be a matter of preference. I have used this ink with sable brushes, and with Chinese brush for my cartoon drawings. I also used this with a G nib and hunts 101 for drawing and practicing copperplate calligraphy. So far so good. I really like this.

Best Beginner Dip Pen Ink!
This ink was recommended to me by Lindsey Bugbee of thepostmansknock.com and I can see why! It has been a wonderful ink for me to learn with and works beautifully with my Nikko G nib and 32# laserjet paper. Although I live in Georgia, a pretty humid state, I have had to dilute it to avoid ink blobs, but that's perfectly fine because the bottle lasts longer! You will have to pour this ink into a dip pen-friendly bottle, but the pour spout makes it easy. I also love the woodsy smell of this ink. This is a great value for a wonderful ink! :)

Wonderful ink for marbling handmade paper
The Yasutomo Ink was recommended to me for using in Suminagashi - a technique of floating ink on water to marble my handmade paper. I had tried grinding my own Sumi ink but getting the right consistency and color was proving too time consuming. Since I had a $5 Amazon coupon I decided to try it. Ordered this bottle on the 13th and it was in my hands on the 17th. It is perfect for my needs, a rich dark ink with a handy pouring spout. Absolutely thrilled with my initial efforts and looking forward to getting better with more practice. Appreciated the super quick processing of this order and the surprising quickness of delivery. Both seller and product get 5 stars from me!
