I'm fairly new to the art of Japanese Sumi-e and Chinese Brushpainting, but I'm delighted by the materials and the process itself. So zen-like and relaxing and the ink sticks used in this process are miniature works of art in and of themselves. So much so that I felt almost guilty using them, but comforted myself with the knowledge that I'll be able to order more when needed.
This set of colored Sumi-e ink sticks are actually small squares of colored ink rather than in the traditional stick form. The box they came in was a bit flimsy, but the materials themselves are beautiful. I recently tried these and love the color they add to my paintings. It's not as bright as the oriental watercolors, but more in line with an actual colored ink. This gives the painting a sort of smoky, tinted effect that is really gorgeous.
The Fine Arts Store that sells these is also a high-quality company to purchase art supplies from. I was anxious to get these sticks for an art project I was working on, so emailed the company to inquire when my supplies would be sent. I figured I might get an emailed form response or maybe no response for a few days. Instead I received a personal email the next day explaining that they'd run out, but were getting a new shipment in the next several days. They also emailed me to let me know when they'd received the items into their store and when they'd shipped them out to me. The next day the package arrived. Needless to say I am very impressed with the great customer service and I'll be ordering more supplies from The Fine Arts Store as my art needs grow.

I bought this for my girlfriend for her birthday, because she pinned it, however no where in the description does it say that you need special containers to put it in, otherwise it came in a timely manner
