Kylin Chinese Ink Cake Featured

The ink used by Chinese scholars for painting and calligraphy was traditionally made in the form of dry ink sticks that were ground with water on the ink stone to produce liquid ink. This allowed the artist total control over the density, texture, and quality of their ink and, by extension, the textural and tonal variations of ink by which their work would be judged. Made chiefly from pine soot (lamp black) and water-soluble animal adhesive, solid ink sticks were highly portable and could be kept almost indefinitely without losing their effectiveness. They could also be moulded in a variety of shapes and colors, complete with pictorial designs and inscriptions.

• “I've just forgotten to write you to tell how pleased I was with the long Chinese coat I ordered - and even more pleased was my good friend in our t'ai chi ch'uan association who received it as a gift for his 60 birthday! A very nice gift indeed! Also nice was the fact that it was sent marked as a gift - it saved me a LOT of paper work et this end, so a big thank you for that! Best regards from the far North from Erik„
