It's only for the ancient times. Now they add some artificial ingredients. So don't try it.

Thank you. The ink making or inkstone carving are also arts associated with the brushes.

Imagine an ink that have a pleasurable smell, all the inks I used always had that 'process smell.'

Now they add some artificial ingredients to the ink sticks. The ones I bought about twenty-five years ago still have the natural fragrance.
