[8] Shape: Smooth-Edged Natural Stone Inkstone ◉ About the Artwork The Akama inkstone, with its unique reddish hue, is said to be the only one of its kind in Japan. Its fine, hard, and dense stone quality, along with its beautiful stone surface, is characteristic. ◯ This piece is a natural stone inkstone, but the edges have been smoothed, requiring extra care. The ink well, the hills, and the edges display a beautiful pattern of light green-blue stone markings like stars on a reddish-brown base, making it unique. In particular, the name of Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, where Sugawara no Michizane, the god of learning, is enshrined, is engraved on the underside. This is a work of art that is good to use and good to look at, so please consider adding it to your collection. Please give it some thought. ◉ Reference Shiun Stone Inkstone, Tetsusaburo Sato, Yukio, Tetsuji, Oshuu Inkstone, Toryusai, Moriyuki Endo, Hiroyuki, Kokuji Inkstone, Amehata Inkstone, Mine Inkstone, Hoshiishi, Amatoba Inkstone, Seiken Amemiya, Yahei, Yataro, Horaiji Inkstone, Hozan, Ryukei Nabekura Inkstone, Shuseki, Takada Inkstone, Wakada Inkstone, Moroka Inkstone, Takashima Torafuri Inkstone, Tosa Inkstone, Nakamura Inkstone, Akama Inkstone, Gyokuchiken, Teisai, Gyokuhou, Yoichi, Yuiseki, Shoryuzan Inkstone, Kokei Inkstone, Baiyo, Yodo, Yakushima Inkstone ◉ Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about minor details. ※ Please check the images carefully. ※ Please read my profile. ※ ⭕️ Please view the works I have listed so far.
