If you plan to grind your own ink rather than just pour it from a bottle, you will need a shallow dish of special unglazed pottery or an inkwell made of rough stone. Hold the ink stick upright, add a little water, and move it in a circular path. You will feel the rough surface friction drag at it while a thin black sludge forms. Add more water now and then. Be patient, and enjoy the relaxing, rhythmic, meditative motion.
Grind enough ink for each day's practice.
