The Sumi Kit takes this tradition to the next level and transforms that concealment into enjoyment. Apart from Ryunou, three other Japanese fragrances - Hinoki, Yuzu, and Kinmokusei (osmanthus), are infused into the sumi. When grinding the sumi against the suzuri stone, the ink flows with a soothing aroma.

It is made from a blend of pine soot, gelatin, and fragrant aromas, which are expertly mixed by skilled artisans. The mixture is then kneaded until it forms a smooth and consistent paste, shaped into wooden molds, and aged for months or even years, allowing the sumi to develop its unique character and depth of color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo produce ink from sumi, you must rub it against a suzuri stone with a small amount of water. The concentration of the ink can be adjusted based on the length of time you rub the sumi against the stone, allowing for a wide range of shades and tones to be created. When using sumi ink on washi paper, the gelatin in the ink seeps into the fibers of the paper, resulting in blotting and blurring that create a unique three-dimensional effect that cannot be replicated with bottled ink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"poj-acd\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cb\u003eSELF-PACED CLASS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TPaENYn7xAE\" height=\"250px\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ‘Sumi Kit - Scented’ goes with a series of 3 classes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pojstudio.mom\/products\/calligraphy-basics\"\u003e#1 The basics of Japanese calligraphy\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pojstudio.mom\/products\/writing-hiragana\"\u003e#2 Writing Hiragana - Japanese syllabary\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/pojstudio.mom\/products\/writing-kanji\"\u003e#3 Writing Kanji - Chinese origin characters\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Kinkoen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44602980139263,"sku":"POJ-KI-SK-F","price":14000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1805\/3975\/files\/pp_sumi_fragerance-3.jpg?v=1704883301"}],"url":"https:\/\/pojstudio.mom\/collections\/the-hobbyist.oembed","provider":"POJ Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
