I make inkstones that make grinding ink enjoyable and make writing and painting even more fun. This is an inkstone I highly recommend. I have already sold over 50 of these inkstones, and they have received excellent reviews from users. Suitable for kana (Japanese syllabary), sumi-e (ink wash painting), and kanji (Chinese characters). Perfect for those who are unfamiliar with inkstones, have only heard of things like Duan inkstones, and wonder about Japanese inkstones. This is the inkstone I recommend most to those who have used Oga inkstones or other Japanese inkstones... I think you will have a completely different impression. You will understand how wrong the old inkstone books and what is said about Japanese inkstones are. Inkstones are not just stone; they are craft items made using stone. This is a new inkstone, but it is an Oga inkstone that has been tuned by Minista (by remaking the ink well and ink surface to improve the inkstone's performance). The back of the inkstone is engraved with "Oga Namiita Stone Hiroyuki." This inkstone uses stone from the Oga Namiita area of Ishinomaki City, Miyagi Prefecture, and was made by Oga inkstone craftsman Hiroyuki Endo. It has a lot of gold dust (small white dots in the photo), which looks beautiful like stars when wet. This inkstone was purchased directly from Endo Suzurikan and comes with a bookmark from Endo Suzurikan. (Supporting the production area inkstone. See below.) It is a wide inkstone, making it easy to grind ink. It has excellent ink release and ink color, and the ink spreads well. You can grind ink comfortably. It can be used for both thick and light ink, and you can write good lines. It is a good inkstone for both oil soot ink and pine soot ink. Good for kana (up to full-size paper), kanji (up to half-size paper), and sumi-e.
