Thank you for looking! (^人^) This is a very valuable and rare Soryu stone suzuri (inkstone) made by my grandfather, weighing over 2 kg. It has been shaped and polished, but I think it could also be used to make a suzuri from scratch. Of course, it can also be used as a flat inkstone as it is. I would like to sell it to someone who likes it (^-^) As it is a natural stone, there are scratches and chips. It is a thick inkstone. Stone patterns that seem to well up on both sides, and fine grains are shining. As it is expensive, please consider it after you are satisfied (^人^) While organizing my grandfather's house, I found inkstones and inkstone plates that he made himself. He used to make inkstones as one of his hobbies with the Soryu stone (★) he had stored. He was a novice at making inkstones. These are the things my grandfather, who was a master of stone stacking, made while enjoying himself. I think he had a good eye for stones. I think my grandfather would be happy if I could sell them to someone who likes them or who will make inkstones from now on. (★) My father told me that the first Issui of Nakamura Suzuri requested my grandfather and father to quarry stones with heavy machinery, and they accompanied him to Shimonokae (Tosa Shimizu City) at that time. Aratani stone. My family and Issui's family are relatives. To reiterate, as it is a natural stone, there are chips and scratches. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for perfection. I hope you will consider it if you understand (^人^) The beauty that nature has created over a long period of time. I would like to sell it to someone who likes it. Thank you very much (^人^) There are no certificates or anything like that. As it is expensive, I hope you will consider it after you are satisfied (^人^) Please refrain from returns (^人^) Size: 18.5cm long x 10cm wide x 4cm thick Weight: 2070g Please forgive any errors (^人^) When sending it, it will be in simple packaging, but I will wrap it carefully and send it to you (^人^) Thank you very much (^人^)
