Review: Great for art! - It's funny that I'm apparently the only one that got this to test it for inking art rather than calligraphy. Yikes! Already inked my art with the thin tip and it dried very quickly. No smudges at all and it was very merciful with the watercolor paper I use (some ink pens will bleed through even with the faintest touch). So this one worked immediately and smoothly. Also, the tip is sturdy, so you have control on what your are doing. The brush tip is perfect for calligraphy and making thick shades. Very wet - so it's not something that dries quickly (the Batman art has the smudges cause I didn't let it dry properly). Already had my hands inked all over, but washes away with water. Black ink is darker than other ink pens I own which is great. It's a big pen compared to my other art materials but it's very comfortable to hold. Doesn't feel heavy either. The back instructions even shows that you can place the caps within each other so you don't loose 'em. That's helpful! I will purchase more in the future and maybe I'll get into kanji calligraphy at some point because the thick brush tip feels right for it. Quick thoughts: • 5/5 stars hands down. • Great price and fast delivery. • I 100% recommend this product for calligraphy and for inking art. • On thicker brush: let it dry for a fair amount of time so it doesn't smudge all over. • Lightweight and easy to handle. Hope this helps!!
Review: Most Impressed! - I purchased this item because 1) of the two excellent reviews that had posted before mine, and 2) of the product's uniqueness for creating calligraphy style letters without all that fuss and mess of mixing and managing inks. Traditional folks probably enjoy preparing the ink and paper as part of their ritual. However, when I write, I am ready to get down to it and write. :) I am new to learning the Chinese language, and this item really helps me practice without creating frustration. The first Chinese character that I attempted to write was the one for water. I was pleased with the pen's smooth, rich ink on the rice paper. For the first time, my effort actually looked liked a real Chinese character rather than some scratch with an ordinary pen or pencil. It looked brush painted! Now, I am not perfect with the character, but I could feel and see the difference with this product. The possibility of beautiful (well-practiced) strokes and proper characters is here within my grasp. I liked it so much that I am going to buy another one to have around. It's worth giving a try if you want to try an Asian language and / or art project.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well worth it
*by S***D on June 1, 2024*

I absolutely LOVE this. The ink is fluid and smooth without causing spillage or bleeding (on a 60-80 lbs budget sketchbook) If you're new to brush pens, I recommend giving it a go. Kuretake also has Zig illustration sets or inktober collections that are really reasonably priced and the quality does not disappoint. I've had these for a few months and they're still going strong.
