Highest-Quality Old Ink Blend Kasen

Features of Kasen
This is a masterpiece of the highest quality old ink blend. Crafted using a new method to bring out the distinctive characteristics of aged ink.
It has received high praise from all quarters for its deep ink color and three-dimensionality unique to aged ink.
This ink has a deep purple-blue color with beautiful bleed and a smooth brush stroke. The light ink, in particular, produces vivid ink marks, beautiful bleed, and a powerful, three-dimensional effect.
It is formulated to be quite strong, so it is best diluted with 20-30% water. When diluted 20-30 times and used as a light ink, it can create a rich, three-dimensional effect.
When used in combination with solid ink, it can create unique ink colors, making it an innovative liquid ink that can be used in a variety of creative ways.
If you grind it with solid ink, be sure to use it up on the same day and do not return it to the original container. The Kasen series also includes blue ink and brown ink.
