Our basic writing set comes with two brushes, a black ink stick, ink stone and red ink for the "chop" or signature stamp. The ink is made by gently rubbing the ink stick in a small pool of water in the ink stone. This ancient method allows for very little waste. The same bushes and inks may be used both for writing and painting, as the two art forms are so closely linked. Our writing set comes from Shanghai, the literary capital of China. Also available on Amazon from REORIENT, is the traditional rice paper used for painting and writing. | | | Features: | |
• Great starter set

 Not a good setNov 17, 2006
By Van Lang H. Nguyen
The brushes and everything else are super tiny, only a child's hand can hold those. Not a good set at all. Rather just go to micheal's art store and get the sumi set there. Just stay away from this set, unless you you buy this as a gift for your 3 years old child.

 Great Starter SetNov 27, 2006
By dcm
It has everything I needed for my daughter and I to start learning Chinese writing. The chop is made of real stone and our teacher says this is a perfect example of what you need to learn Chinese writing. This is a great way for us to learn about her birth culture.

 Chinese Calligraphy SetDec 25, 2009
By A. Wachendorf
This item comes in a very nice case and has great presentation. It is perfect for a "beginning" calligraphy student. My 11 year old son loves his set and was very happy with the items included. If you are looking for something more advanced you would want something with a little finer brushes. I would buy this item again for a child.

It was good for aesthetic display, but not for actual useFeb 03, 2011
By Kaveri
The product was nice overall, however I felt that it's only good for displaying in a cabinet. I tried to use it but the brushes are too small, and the ink isn't very effective either. If someone really wants to practice calligraphy, they should buy the liquid ink and larger brushes.

Better than expected!Feb 28, 2007
By Debra Coffman
"dibbles"
This arrived sooner than expected and was beautiful! The photo on line does not do it justice. I have thoroughly enjoyed using it as a beginner, and look forward to adding to it's basics as I get better at ink brush technique.
