Yasutomo liquid vermilion ink is a rich, warm, red-orange colour.

It is traditionally used in hand-lettered manuscripts, seals, and ink paintings. It is also commonly used in Asia by calligraphy instructors to correct students' work.

This water-resistant ink is opaque and dries to a permanent matte finish.

Use directly from the bottle for dip pen calligraphy and brush painting. Mix with black ink to create a rich brown or warm black calligraphy ink.

Conforms to ASTM D-4236.

* Pro Tip * When used on washi (rice paper), expect the ink to soak in and spread into the absorbent paper. If you are using the ink for Western-style lettering on sized paper, add gum arabic. This will greatly reduce bleeding and fuzzy letters.

Due to extreme cold temperatures increasing the risk of the jars breaking in shipping, we will only mail ink bottles when the forecast is above freezing for the duration of travel. If you wish to pay for overnight shipping we will do so but at your own risk and expense.
