You're supposed to grind a little and slowly drip water onto the ink so that you can make a viscous liquid and not waste a ton of ink..

Calligraphy needs a lot of ink.

A meditative process. Though I found the grinding fast, you have the freedom to do what fits your state of mind.

The thing I love most about grinding it is the meditative quality and the incensey smell. But it's also worth it for the intensely black ink. I live in Canada, and there is an Asian store were everything is $2. They sell inkstones, brushes, paper, ink, the felt to put under the paper, the little weight to keep it still! Everything $2! The stores are called Daiso or Yokoyaya. It might just be cause there are so many Asians in my city though. You can also find these things in Chinatown here.

what are these chemicals and preservatives in bottle ink? what are they preserving exactly? ground soot? why would that be in bottle ink and not in the ink sticks that you grind on the stone?

I'm a little late I know, but mold can grow in ink. It has happened to me.

Do you know where I can buy a suzuri like yours that delivers to the uk? My suzuri is too small, but I can't find any natural rock suzuri, which is the kind that I want...

Just so people know, ASMR is an experience, not a condition. That comment might have given the false impression that it's some sort of disorder when it's just an entirely pleasurable response that not everybody experiences.

I read that the glue used in the ink sticks and bottled ink for chinese/japanese calligraphy is animal derived. I am looking for a vegan alternative of the same. Can you point me to any ink stick or bottled ink brand (specifically for chinese calligraphy) that is completely free of animal based products? Anand

Each to his own but I do not like the design of your ink stone. Water at the bottom and ink at the top, small area to grind on and ink can fall into the bottom reservoir and mix with the water. Good video but.
