This traditional Chinese sealing ink (印泥) is carefully formulated to ensure a crisp, lasting impression when stamping calligraphic or pictorial works. Thanks to its natural components, it provides excellent adhesion, a smooth texture, and a vibrant red color.
Specifications: Outer diameter of 5-7 cm
Use: Ideal for seals used in calligraphy, traditional Chinese painting and seal engraving (篆刻)
Ingredients :
- Premium quality cinnabar powder (朱砂)
- Mugwort fiber (艾绒)
- Castor oil (蓖麻油)
Storage instructions:
- Recommended container: Store in a vitreous china jar. Avoid clay containers (such as Yixing or porous ceramic) or metal containers (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, taking care not to tear the mugwort fibers.

Properly prepare a new Chinese inkstone (开砚)
A new inkstone is covered with a thin layer of wax. Before grinding the ink, it must therefore be "opened" (开砚), otherwise the ink stick will slip.
