In this video I make an ancient pigment only found in the finest Japanese calligraphy ink, which doubles as one of the rarest firework ingredients in the world.

Animal hide glue: http://ebay.us/Xsi1df

Note that you only need a few small grains of hide glue added to your ink to stop it from smearing once dry. The ink will work without glue, using only water and lampblack as ingredients but it may smear once dry similar to if you had used a pencil.

Check out my previous video about senko hanabi fireworks if you would like to learn more about how to make them: https://youtu.be/yvoUYEu3o-c
