Shinshu Specialty: Ryukei Suzu (Inkstone) - Ryukei Stone This inkstone is a long-term storage item and is in very good condition. It is expected to be perfectly usable going forward. No box included. Size: (approx. cm) Length 22 / Width 13.5 / Height 3cm Ryukei Suzu is ranked 8th among Japanese inkstones in the book "Recommendation of Japanese Inkstones" by Tsugio Ishikawa. Currently, the number of inkstone makers is limited, and old Ryukei inkstones are highly sought after and considered valuable. I am offering this for sale in the hope that someone will use it. This Ryukei inkstone has a complex stone pattern, rare for Ryukei, and sparkles with golden particles. It grinds ink well and has a smooth grinding feel.
