Karin Silk Lika in Pouch
The silk lika used in calligraphy consists of silk placed inside the inkwell to ensure the pen picks up ink more smoothly and evenly. This material is an essential aid that supports the flawless aesthetic of calligraphy writing.
Role and Function
1. Controlling Ink Flow:
Prevents the pen from taking up too much ink.
Ensures the ink is transferred to the pen in a homogeneous and balanced manner.
2. Protecting the Pen:
Prevents the tip of the pen from hitting the hard base of the inkwell and getting damaged.
3. Preventing Ink Disturbance:
Helps the ink remain still inside the inkwell, which ensures a continuous flow during writing.
How to Use?
1. Preparation:
The silk lika is cleaned and properly prepared before being placed in the inkwell.
It is used in an appropriate amount depending on the size of the inkwell and the needs of the pen nib.
2. Placement:
The silk lika is placed at the bottom of the inkwell or adjusted to the level of the ink.
It should not be too compressed, otherwise ink flow may be obstructed.
3. During Use:
The pen, when dipped into the ink, absorbs ink from the lika. This process regulates the ink flow throughout the writing.
Advantages of Silk Lika
Cleaner Writing: Prevents smudging that can occur due to excess ink.
