Traditional quality
Reminds me of the high-quality inks used in traditional studios. The color saturation is excellent for bird-and-flower subjects.

Great value with the promo
Bought six bottles to get the two free ones. The colors are vibrant and mix well with water. One bottle arrived slightly leaky, but customer service resolved it quickly.

Excellent for beginners
As a student just starting with Chinese landscape painting, these pigments are very forgiving. They layer beautifully without becoming muddy.

Good capacity
The 22ml size is much better than the standard small tubes. It allows for larger washes on rice paper without running out immediately.

Highly recommended
The consistency is perfect right out of the bottle. No need to add too much water to get a rich color. Will definitely buy again.
