The new Shachihata "Warabe" Mini Ink Pad comes in an easily portable size, along with the original oil-based pigment ink. The newly designed size also makes it easier for you to put on colors to a smaller or a more specific area on your stamp. The surface of the pad is designed to make full contact with a stamp. It produces a sharper and brighter result than a standard ink pad. It also dries fast and waterproof. The 29 colors in this series are originated from traditional Japanese colors. The plastic lid of this stamp pad is not attached, and the bottom of the pad is designed to be stackable for easy storage.
