Comparison of bleeding between solid ink, ink liquid "Rin", and synthetic resin ink liquid
Bridging unique to solid ink
Solid ink, which breaks down into fine particles when ground, produces a beautiful iridescence.
"Rin": Expressive Power Approaching Solid Ink
Made with lamp black ink and natural glue, "Rin" has good ink flow and produces beautiful iridescence.
No ability to express bleed
General synthetic resin ink cannot produce beautiful bleed, even on "Shinshika" paper, which has uniform fibers and low resistance.
Ijimi (smudges) varies depending on the paper.
Even advanced calligraphers who are particular about their paper will appreciate it.
Ijimi (smudges) also vary depending on the paper. The way the ink spreads depends on the paper's absorbency when absorbing moisture. Handmade paper generally exhibits varying levels of iris depending on the raw materials, while machine-made paper tends to be less prone to iris. From the many types of paper available, let's take a look at the differences in iris using some of the most popular papers recommended by Shoyu.
Comparison of bleeding on representative handmade and machine-made papers
This compares the bleeding of the ink "Rin" on each representative paper.
Whether handmade or machine-made, bleeding is fully expressed all the way to the edges.
Kouseihai (Handmade)
Above: Light Ink (32x Dilution)
Kouseihai is a high-resolution paper with uniform fibers and low resistance, allowing the ink to flow easily and resulting in beautiful iridescence.
Below: Nibbling of the undiluted ink
It blends well with ink and penetrates deep into the paper, creating a deep black. It also has good color development, giving it a lifelike appearance.
Kamishika (Handmade)
Image above: Light ink (32x diluted)
Shoyu confidently recommends Kamishika. Its uniform fibers and low resistance allow the ink to flow easily, resulting in beautiful iridescence.
Below: Nibbling of the undiluted ink
It blends well with ink and penetrates deep into the paper, creating a deep black. It also has good color development, giving it a lifelike appearance.
Kouen (Handmade)
Above: Light Ink (32x diluted)
A distinctive feature of Kouen is that it exhibits minimal bleeding due to the inherent characteristics of the paper's fibers. When light ink is dropped onto the paper, the ink runs in a radial pattern, and the bleeding is not very clear, so it tends not to be suitable for light ink.
Below: Bleeding of the undiluted ink
When using undiluted ink, bleeding is less likely to occur even when you stop writing with the brush, making this paper very easy to write on.
Student Hakuhou (machine-made)
Above: Light ink (diluted 32 times)
Student Hakuhou, often used for student practice, is characterized by its minimal iridescence. When you drop light ink onto this paper, the ink runs in a radial pattern, and the ink does not bleed very cleanly, so it is not suitable for light ink.
Below: Undiluted ink bleed
Compared to Kouen, it is less able to produce a rich black color and some bleed occurs, but it is a very easy paper to write on for practice.
"Rin" is expressive and suitable for beginners and advanced artists alike.
You can immerse yourself in "creating art" or "practice" without losing the feel of solid ink.
Choose your density and size
The ability to choose your density makes it versatile.
We offer two different strengths. You can use the "thick ink" undiluted or dilute it to your desired strength. You can use the "regular strength" ink as is, or you can dilute it. If the strength is not enough, you can rub in solid ink to achieve your desired strength and color.
Using natural glue for expressions approaching those of solid ink
Can also be used to rub in solid ink
Because natural glue is used, the brush glides smoothly and smoothly, allowing you to enjoy the same writing feel as solid ink. Because it's made with natural glue, it's also possible to rub in solid ink. However, in this case, it's important to mix thoroughly. Please try it out to experience the writing feel and finish that cannot be achieved with liquid ink made from synthetic resin. We're sure you'll understand its merits.
