Fable of ink_stick birth

• The history of a sumi is long.There is pattern in Chinese ceramics in more than 4000 years ago already before A.D..
• Would you use color?Writing in red and sumi painting of a fragment of ceramics seems to be sumis, too even if makes you the inscriptions on bones and tortoise carapaces that went from Inkyo.
• Originally because a kanji of sumi was black and logotype of soil, I ground Sekidetu of nature that is coal and smashed it, and I mixed the thing which seemed to be a lacquer tree with glue and would use it.
• The name of Yumi looks like "Chinese classics".I remove soot from high quality pine, and say that I made you sumi circle.
• Because the sumi of Yumi became famous, there is the thought too that changed it to "Sumi" in Japan.
