Sumi-e painting

[Paintertom]

Hi everyone! First post here for me.

I’m a tattoo artist who specialises in Japanese style tattoos and lately I’ve been wanting to give sumi-e painting a go, however I’ve so far found it impossible to find vegan products to do this with.

I’m wondering if anyone knows of any vegan variations of sumi ink, menso brush and saishiki brush. I’m pretty sure rice paper and Gansai tambi for colouring are vegan but the rest of the materials are driving me crazy trying to find!

Thanks for any help.
