This traditional Chinese seal ink (印泥) is carefully formulated to ensure a clear and lasting impression when stamping seals on calligraphic or pictorial works. Thanks to its natural components, it provides excellent durability, a smooth texture, and a bright red color.
Specifications: Outer diameter of 5 cm
Use: Ideal for seals used in calligraphy, traditional Chinese painting, and seal engraving (篆刻)
Ingredients:
- High-quality cinnabar powder (朱砂)
- Mugwort fiber (艾绒)
- Castor oil (蓖麻油)
Storage advice:
Recommended container: Avoid clay containers (such as Yixing or porous ceramics) or metal (steel, copper, iron), which can absorb the oil or cause premature drying.
Ink maintenance: Stir regularly with a bone or bamboo tool to maintain homogeneity, avoiding tearing the mugwort fibers.
