Chinese Painting Ink

To save the labor of preparing ink from rubbing a stick, first workshop of liquid ink was opened in China in 1865. The shop's name was Yi-de Pavilion, which means 'One skill is enough to serve the demand; success depends on the ancient teaching.' The making of this ink is based on the formula of oil-soot ink stick 101, and its quality has made it one of most popular artist inks in China since.
