My grandfather lived in Guangdong Province, China for about 15 years in the 1980s due to work. Over more than a decade, he collected Duan inkstones. He amassed about 1000 of them! Last year, a specialist from China bought 200 of them at a high price, but he still has many left. My grandfather said he wants to pass on his collection to someone who will cherish them while he's still alive. He's getting older and can't use a smartphone well, so he asked me to list them. The descriptions are based on my grandfather's stories. There are over 10 types of Duan inkstones. Among them, Laokeng, Mazikeng, and Kengziyan are the most revered. They are called the "Three Famous Caves." Furthermore, "Laokeng" is the most famous of the famous caves. Prices range from tens of thousands to millions of yen depending on the size and quality of the stone. Knowledge about inkstones cannot be explained in a single sentence. I will continue to share these with those who love inkstones. I guarantee that all of these inkstones are genuine. I'm using the normal camera of an iPhone 12 to take clear pictures. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly sensitive or lack knowledge about inkstones. Please consider this if you understand. If you have any questions, please leave a comment. Due to camera functions and lighting, there may be some differences between the images and the actual items, so please understand. Bulk purchases are eligible for significant discounts. Please inquire about the price of the high-priced Laokeng inkstones.
