Thank you for viewing this item. I am listing a blue ink stick, known as a famous Chinese ink, "Made by Hu Kaiwen of Huizhou." [Set Contents and Accessories] - Ink stick body - Original outer box [Item Condition and Usage History] The ink stick itself is unused. It is listed as "Near Mint" because I purchased it used previously. It appears to have been stored for a long time, and while there are minor scuffs and dirt, there is no major damage such as cracks, and in my subjective opinion, it is in very good condition. Regarding the outer box, there are tears in the four corners of the bottom box, and some fraying of the decorative thread on the top box. Condition judgment varies from person to person, so please refer to the images for details and consider your purchase. [Size] Width approx. 3.1 cm x Length approx. 11.5 cm x Thickness approx. 1.1 cm [Weight] 55.76g *This is not a precise measurement, so please consider it as an approximate guide.

This is a very charming blue ink stick made by "Hu Kaiwen," a long-established and renowned ink maker from Huizhou, famous in the world of calligraphy. The inscription "Made by Hu Kaiwen of Huizhou" is on the side, and on the back, the beautiful phrase "赤縣扶桑 一衣帯水 一葦可航" (Akaken Fusō, Ichii Taisui, Ichii Kakō), symbolizing the deep connection between Japan and China, is engraved. This is a piece that offers the deep color unique to blue ink and the delicate spread of ink. The box, with its traditional decoration, is also beautiful, making it a valuable calligraphy tool for both practical use and collection.
