This is a Kyūken (also known as She Inkstone) from She County, Anhui Province, China. It is a set including the inkstone itself and its lid. Kyūken is known as one of the four great inkstones of China. It grinds ink well and is highly practical, excelling at ink dispersion. This item has been used, so there are scratches and ink stains on the inkstone surface, but there is no critical damage such as cracks or chips. The inkstone lid is in relatively good condition. A Chinese instruction manual is included (see photo). Although the detailed age and maker are unknown, it is a piece that can be fully enjoyed as a craft item and writing tool. Please understand that this is a used and long-term stored item, and examine the photos before considering a purchase.
