☆I will be listing other calligraphy-related items, so please take a look☆ This is a large, square inkstone purchased about 30 years ago. It is a professional-grade inkstone recommended by a calligraphy teacher for serious calligraphy practice. The balance of the sharpness of the ink grinding surface is good, the stone surface is smooth, and the simple beauty as a tool is also attractive. It works well with both oil soot ink and pine soot ink. Even for light ink works, it is recommended to grind the ink thickly first and then gradually dilute it with water. Size: Outer dimensions: Approximately 175 x 115 x 22mm Weight: 936g Square inkstone, optimal size for hanshi (half-size paper) and jobuku (long, wide paper) ● The original box is not available. ● It is an old item, so there are scratches and stains.
