The famous Chinese herbologist and acupencturist, Li Shi Zhen 李时珍 (1518 – 1593), recorded 药墨 Yao Mo Pearl Medicine Black Inkstick in his famous book 本草纲目Ben Cao Gang Mu Compendium of Materia Medica in Ming Dynasty, though it would not be considered as a medicine today.
药墨 Yao Mo is made from a mixture of pine soot and very precious materials such as pearl, musk, and borneol. The pearl inkstick does not only use very precious raw materials but also quite sophisticated method to make the inkstick. All the raw materials need to be crushed for at least 300,000 times while a fine inkstick only needs to be crushed for 100,000 times (according to Li Ting Gui recipe). The more the ink materials are crushed, the finer the ink is because the soot and resin can be combined better. This physical change directly affect the ink’s quality and how long it can be preserved.
Yao Mo recipes have been varied slightly over history but normally always contain pearl, borneol, and nectar.

Original Ink
I am a student from China and I am looking for some ink sticks to take back for they are hard to make and come back in it’s original country. This is sturdy and it’s black! Great to use for calligraphy! If you do not know how to make the ink into your texture using the traditional method DO NOT GET THIS! -
question de taille
produit conforme à la photo et au descriptif mais je n’avais pas pris garde à la taille d’où une mauvaise surprise quand j’ai reçu le bâton… 4 fois moins de matière que dans un bâton d’encre tel qu’on le trouve usuellement dans le commerce… Je souligne donc ce point pour ceux qui seraient comme moi marqués par le prix car c’est de fait au final une fausse bonne affaire comparé à ce qu’on peut trouver en commerce. -
Buena barra! Compra verificada
Barra de muy buena consistencia y perfectamente embalada. En mi caso viene con papel Sumi de muestra, lo cual agradezco. El tamaño de la barra es adecuado, ni muy grande, ni muy pequeña y el granulado del hollín es super fino, así que no se nota al fabricar la tinta ni obstruye las plumillas. 10/10

Una tinta muy apetecible. Negro mate intenso, buena gama de tonos grises. Olor fuerte pero agradable. Buena para tinta Su. Fina y delicada. Volveré a comprar.

Super Qualität
Duftet angenehm nach Erde. Die Tusche wird schön flüssig ohne zu klumpen. Der Stein ist ausserdem sehr ergiebig. 5 Sterne wie gewohnt
