Obake Sumi 125ml Set — The Complete Grey Wash System in One Pack
Three products. An almost infinite palette of grays. The Obake Sumi Set brings together in a single pack the three components of the most precise and controlled grey wash system on the market: Nami Wash (light grey), Kumo Wash (medium dark grey) and Tamashí (special thinner) — each in a 125ml format. Everything you need to explore the entire tonal scale of grey wash from the first moment with the highest quality Japanese sumi ink, ready to use without additional purchases and with savings compared to buying the three separately.
Important notice: Obake Sumi pigments are products for artistic use only. They are not manufactured for use in tattooing or for application on skin. They do not have AEMPS approval in Spain or European REACH certification for use in tattooing. Check the regulations in force in your country before any application.
Set contents — three products, one set
Nami Wash 125ml — "wave" in Japanese. The light gray of the system — fluid, smooth, and ethereal. For transitions to light, the most delicate midtones and the brightest areas of the grey wash. The tone that gives naturalness and air to the shading.
Kumo Wash 125ml — "cloud" in Japanese. The medium-dark gray of the system — dense, solid, and full-bodied. The visual anchor of the composition, the point from which the deep shadow areas are built and the contrast that gives volume to the work.
Tamashí 125ml — "soul" in Japanese. The system's special diluent—it's not water, it's not a generic diluent. It is specifically formulated to be compatible with Nami and Kumo's Japanese sumi base, creating all the shades in between both grays without altering the behavior or solidity of the gradient.
The complete palette — all the shades of the system
With all three products in the set, you get access to the full possible tonal scale of the Obake Sumi system:
- ✓ Nami only → light gray base for transitions and highlights
- ✓ Kumo only → dark medium gray for deep shadows and volume
- ✓ Nami + Tamashí → very light gray, almost transparent, for the most delicate tones
- ✓ Kumo + Tamashí → medium gray, between pure Kumo and pure Nami
- ✓ Nami + Kumo + Tamashí in different proportions → any intermediate tone with total precision
Three products. An almost infinite palette of grays. With the control and solidity that only Japanese sumi ink combined with Tamashí can give.
Why choose the set and not the products separately
The set is the smartest way to get started with Obake Sumi or to refresh all three products at once:
- ✓ Economic savings → price lower than the sum of the three products separately
- ✓ Ready right out of the box → without having to purchase additional products to access the entire tonal palette
- ✓ Balanced system → the three 125ml formats ensure that the three products last proportionally
- ✓ Ideal for discovering the system → the perfect entry point for artists who want to explore grey wash with Japanese sumi for the first time
Recommended artistic uses
Practice and training on synthetic skin — the primary use of the system. For artists who want to train the pulse, pressure and gradient management in grey wash without consuming approved pigments or impacting the client.
Flash tattoo illustration — for illustrators looking to faithfully replicate the grey wash aesthetic in designs on paper or synthetic media with all the tonal richness of the system.
Art on paper and synthetic support — the Japanese sumi base makes the system an exceptional tool for oriental-style illustration and calligraphy on any suitable support.
Tattoo design and layout — to create realistic visualizations of grey wash work before its final execution, with all the tonal scale available.
Usage note — shake correctly
Nami Wash and Kumo Wash are made with sumi stone and must be stirred periodically to prevent the pigment from solidifying and separating from the rest of the components. Before each use, shake vigorously for at least 1 minute to ensure a homogeneous consistency.
Obake Sumi — Created by artists for artists
Obake Sumi is a range of artistic pigments designed for tattoo artists who use practice and drawing as an essential part of their creative process. Its philosophy is simple: the best Japanese sumi ink, a special carrier and three products that together open up an almost infinite palette of grays for the artist who understands grey wash as a discipline.
