◆ Precautions for use ◆
Immediately wash the tools with water after use, and wash the woodblock to the pigment in the groove.
When washing the woodblock, avoid using a hard scrubbing brush, but be sure to use a soft sponge. Please wash the pad by squishing it to remove the pigment.
Please dry the woodblock in the shade. Direct sunlight and sudden temperature changes can damage the woodblock. Also, the woodblock will warp until it is completely dry.
The rubbed pattern is a water-soluble paint. If you rub or get it wet, the pattern will fall off. Also, when writing characters on the pattern, please note that the pattern may bleed depending on the type of ink.
The included postcards are for watercolors. Adjust the paint density according to the paper quality you are using. Since the paint is sucked in differently, it affects the finish. By adding water-based pigments to existing paints, it is possible to arrange them into original paints.
Contains the amount to rub up about 80 postcards with the included glitter powder.
