Also known as a wooden inkstone, lacquer sand inkstone, or travel inkstone. ● There are fine protrusions on the ink grinding surface, and it is thought that ink is ground on these, but rather than being used as a calligraphy inkstone, it is recommended to appreciate it as a collection of special inkstones or as a traditional craft. ● The item will be shipped via Mercari delivery service.
