Product Description

 

Japanese Tattoo Ink - Wash painting developed in China during the Tang Dynasty (618-907). Wang Wei is generally credited as the painter who applied color to existing ink and wash paintings.[1] The art was further developed into a more polished style during the Song Dynasty (960-1279). It was introduced to Korea shortly after China's discovery of the ink. Then, the Korean missionaries in Japan, in helping the Japanese establish a civilized settlement introduced it to Japan in the mid-14th century. In wash paintings, as in calligraphy, artists usually grind their own ink stick (Japanese: sumi) over an ink stone to obtain ink, but prepared inks are also available. Most ink sticks are made of either pine soot or oil soot combined with animal glue (Japanese: nikawa). An artist puts a few drops of water on an ink stone and grinds the ink stick in a circular motion until a smooth, black ink of the desired concentration is made. Prepared inks are usually of much lower quality. Sumi themselves are sometimes ornately decorated with landscapes or flowers in bas-relief and some are highlighted with gold.

Wash painting brushes are similar to the brushes used for calligraphy and are traditionally made from bamboo with goat, ox, horse, sheep, rabbit, marten, badger, deer, boar or wolf hair. The brush hairs are tapered to a fine point, a feature vital to the style of wash paintings.

Different brushes have different qualities. A small wolf-hair brush that is tapered to a fine point can deliver an even thin line of ink (much like a pen). A large wool brush (one variation called the big cloud) can hold a large volume of water and ink. When the big cloud brush rains down upon the paper, it delivers a graded swath of ink encompassing myriad shades of gray to black.

We used this historical aspects to create the best tattoo pigments to achieve those effects on skin.

Great for Travel - Perfect Size and Comfortable!
Color: White, Size: Medium
After trying to find a neck pillow for travel and many returns, I purchased this pillow. I love it! I have a long and thin neck and all the neck pillows did not provide enough support and constantly rotating the neck pillow does not work for me. Switching to this pillow was my answer. It came compressed and I followed the instructions (15 min in the dryer on low with a couple of dryer sheets). The pillow fluffed right up and is super comfortable and supportive. There is no smell. The cover is very soft (a must!). It easily compresses into the provided bag so easy to travel with. It's also the perfect size, small enough to easily travel with, and large enough to provide support. I recommend it.

Soft, Comfortable, and Great for Camping
Color: Grey, Size: L-23 X 16 Inch
I bought this travel pillow for my son’s first camping trip, and I was really impressed. It’s incredibly soft, nice and fluffy, and made a big difference in keeping him comfortable overnight. It was such a hit that I think his dad was a little jealous I didn’t get him one too! It also packed up easily and fit back into its bag without a struggle, which is a huge plus when you’re camping. It held up well during the trip and did exactly what we needed it to do. My only criticism is that it’s a little pricey for what it is. That said, once you feel the quality and comfort, you can understand why. Overall, I would definitely recommend it.

Comfy and practical
Color: Grey, Size: S-16 X 12 Inch
The best travel pillow for anyone looking for an actual pillow and not just neck support. We have used it on several trips both on a plane and in the car and it is great for both!
