This is perfect for nice small details, but if you don't apply the right pressure (not too hard not too soft) it'll not turn out as a rich dark black color. This lasts quite a good measure of time, the packaging is written in white japanese text. The packaging is very nice, the cap snaps on well to keep the moisture out. I would recommend this to people who work on medium small details, not necessarily for beginners maybe intermediates. But if you want to improve on professionalism then this is a good product. But you have to know what size you should/want to get, maybe buy the package.
