Just to toss another curveball into the mix, it has been my understanding that high hardness levels impact has more to do with aging/finishing/hardening the finish, rather like a "fixative".
The direct relationship to Sumi development as I understand it is more related to the specific levels of silicates in the water rather than hardness in general. More "urban legend" stuff, or rooted in fact?
