Amazing. The whole process must have taken years to perfect.

The ink is made from soot, which is produced by putting candles under inverted bowls (that's one I way I found, anyhow). To use the ink sticks, you grind them with water in an ink stone, which has a flat surface with an indentation for mixing. Chinese ink is archival.
