Thank you for viewing. This is a Wajima-nuri suzuribako (inkstone box) with an inkstone and water dropper. The surface of the mirror-black lacquered suzuribako features auspicious kishomon (auspicious patterns) of rice ears depicted in gold maki-e (sprinkled picture). The box has a time-consuming "doharishinage" (bulging body) finish. A suzuribako, as the name suggests, is a general term for a box that holds various writing tools necessary for writing with a brush, such as an inkstone for holding ink, a brush for writing characters, ink for adding ink, water and a container for holding the water for grinding ink, and other items such as a small knife and an awl. It may be convenient for those who enjoy calligraphy, sutra copying, New Year's cards, haiku, etc., to use on a whim. Thank you. It might also be a good souvenir for foreigners. * The shape is a slightly rounded "doharishinage" (bulging body) shape. Doharishinage is difficult to make, and some manufacturers have stopped producing it. Therefore, the price is higher.
