These solid coloured ink sticks are traditionally used for
calligraphy and chinese brush painting. To create ink from the
stick, it needs to be continuously ground against an ink stone to
grind up the pigment and then a small quantity of water is added in
order to make the ink. This ink can then be picked up with a brush
and used directly onto a surface. This set of 5 coloured ink
sticks come in a presentation box with a glass lid. Each coloured
ink stick has a gold dragon painted on one side. The colours
included in this set are Red, Yellow, Green, Blue and White. These
five colours have significance within Chinese culture - Red,
corresponding with fire, symbolizes good fortune and
joy. Yellow, corresponding with earth, signifies
neutrality and good luck. Green/Blue is generally associated
with health, prosperity, and harmony. White corresponding with
metal, represents gold and symbolises brightness, purity, and
fulfilment. The colours can be used on their own or mixed
together to create new shades and tones. The box measures
