- Suminagashi is the traditional Japanese art of marbling, and here I'm trying to make it as accessible as possible by using the bare minimum of items. This way, you can easily follow along at home!
In the video, I demonstrate how to get started with this type of paper marbling, and I also run through some problems you may encounter and tell you how you can try to fix them.
I hope you enjoy the video and have fun giving it a go yourself :)
P.S. The ink I used was Manuscript Calligraphy Dip Pen Ink in black.

Thank you for this EXCELLENT tutorial - one of the best I've seen. I have dabbled in Suminigashi and had questions about the materials, all of which you answered in the first few minutes.
Aw thanks so much :D
a good introduction into this subject, simple easy to follow instructions, leads to amazing designs, only limited by your imagination. good to know there is a easy way to start with limited outlay in tools and ink to see if its a craft you really want to get into. just as it says in the title, an Easy How to for Beginners. thanks for sharing, cant wait to try it myself
Thank you :)
Thanks a lot for the list. I understand that I have to use a fatty ink that will not dissolve into water.
Thank you for creating the simplest form of trying Suminagashi. I appreciate your run-through of things that can go wrong or happy accidents. Alice from Florida

Thankyou for the troubleshooting tips included too
Glad you found them helpful :)
amazing! my fabric came out great. very informative
Excellent! Glad you found it helpful :)
Very good demo. Thank you.
Thanks :)
the "whiskers" is actually how Spanish Wave marbling is done, you wiggle the paper side to side as you place it down on the water. Suminagashi is actually how i practiced the technique before trying it on marbled papers.
Thank you!
Fascinating techniques, l enjoy ikebana, origami shodu and simple brush work so shall practice these ideas .Thanks for video
You are welcome 😊
Best demo
Thanks!
Excellent tutorial 🙏💌
Thanks very much :D
Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the demo! Could you recommend any colored inks?
Thanks for watching :) I haven't tried coloured inks to be honest so I wouldn't like to say - it seems it is difficult to tell what would and what wouldn't work without actually testing the particular ink. If you do try a coloured ink, please let us know how it goes!
@@RokoleeDIY thanks for your reply! :-)
How do you dry the paper without it all wrinkling up? I would like to make my own to use as end-papers in my own diy books. Thank you.
Hi! I carefully iron them on low heat after they have dried :)
i stick my papers on my glass shower door after i rinse them. on the back, of course. The surface tension of the water is enough to hold them in place until they are almost dry, at which point i let them fall off naturally, then add to a stack between boards and a weight. blotter paper between each printed sheet just to make sure. let the results of a session sit under weight over night and you should have fairly flat paper with some slight waveiness. I often use marbled papers i make like this as endpapers and even covers for my books.
merci pour le tuto , par contre je ne comprend pas .
Dans bcp de tuto on parle de mettre de agent mouillant , il faut le mettre a quel moment ?
Une fois que le papier est plein dancre il suffit de le laisser secher ?
Hi! Sorry, Google Translate is letting me down and I don't quite understand your question. Apologies.
Can you use Sumie Gold and Silver inks?
To be honest I don't know for sure, but it would be very easy to give them a try if that's the ink you have. Please let me know how it goes if you do try!
Is there better water solutions? My prints aren’t as vibrant in color, maybe that’s because of the paper?
Not sure without seeing the paper, and unfortunately they differ slightly between brands. Perhaps your paper is not as porous/absorbent?
From the usa so was confused at first as to what “washigkup” liquid was…LOL😂 Dishsoap! washing up liquid! 😅😊😅😅😅
😁
Can I use normal paper and water color
Normal paper is fine, but watercolour would be a different effect - probably very pale. You can always try it though!
what about homemade ironed paper without additives
I don't see why not; homemade paper should be very absorbent. The only worry I would have is if the resulting pattern would be sharp. If you do try it, please let me know how it went!
@@RokoleeDIY first i will try it out😁
interesting how you dont want distortion of the rings and you want it perfectly concentric. wouldnt it be cool to mess it up and marble it rather than just have circles?
Yeah true you could definitely do that...I just like the concentric circles as they look like the rings of a tree :)
My sumi ink sinks to the bottom. What did I do wrong?
Hmm I'm not sure, sorry :( From Googling, it says to add the ink slowly and carefully, making sure to not push the brush too far into the water.
In the many videos I’ve watched on this subject, it’s notable that you don’t hold your brushes vertically.
Do you have a written list of the materials you are using. I am a French speaker and do not fully understand the names of some products you are using.
I read your comment and then screenshotted the video to make a list for you... I hope this helps...
⁃ Plastic container/tray
⁃ Washing-up liquid/ dish soap
⁃ Cup
⁃ Kitchen towel
⁃ Newspaper and a cocktail stick (optional)
⁃ Plastic container/tray
⁃ Washing-up liquid/ dish soap

⁃ Paper; use what you have or buy rice paper, cotton paper, or similar.
⁃ Fine-tipped brushes
⁃ Ink; this needs to float in water. Can add Photo-flo (brand name)
- Plastic container/tray; remember that any paper pieces you want to print onto must be smaller than this container.
Does India Ink work with this technique?
I can't say for sure because I haven't tried India ink, but I don't see why not :)
I tried and it works like wonders. Weirdly, Sumi Ink did not work for me as it sank down.
@@cmdlkc Awesome, thanks for letting me know!
@@cmdlkc what India Ink did you use? I have tried with "Sennelier Encre de Chine - Indian Ink 'a la Pagode'" and the result is a bit pale, but maybe I didn't load enough ink on the brush.
@@martavertechi1916 I used the Talens India Ink, my results were also kind of pale but they looked nice after some editing. I believe it is about the paper, now I bought some marbling paper so imma try that to see if I get better results
