This is a calligraphy inkstone that my mother, who used to exhibit her work in exhibitions, used. She no longer does calligraphy, so I'd like to pass it on to someone who will use it. Size: Approximately 19cm (length) x 12.5cm (width) x 3cm (height) Weight: Approximately 1357g Features of the Wakada Inkstone: It has excellent stone quality for both ink dispersion and ink retention, and is characterized by its jet-black natural beauty. Hayashi Razan, a Confucian scholar in the early Edo period, highly praised it in his writings as being comparable to the Duanxi inkstones of China. Many have simple carvings, making the most of the stone's natural texture. A traditional craft of Nagasaki Prefecture. I am also selling other ink and calligraphy supplies. #CalligraphyTools #WakadaInkstone #Inkstone
