Black calligraphy implements with gold ornamentation, featuring a dragon design. This is a very high-class, small Tang ink stick, inheriting the design of the long-established Chinese ink shop "Cao Sugong." The surface is beautifully decorated with the "Dragon Design," a symbol of authority, and "Reishi Clouds," wishing for longevity, and the inscriptions "Holy Dynasty Rain and Dew" and "Huayang Jiyu Zhai Selected Smoke" are engraved. Due to its small size, it is an excellent item that is very easy to handle when you want to carefully write fine characters, such as for sutra copying, kana characters, and letters (practical writing). It is also a valuable item for viewing and as a collection. ● Condition: ・Unused ・Comes with a dedicated box ・There are no noticeable cracks on the ink stick itself ・Please purchase only if you understand that this is a long-term storage item. ● Size: Small (Please check the images for details) For calligraphy enthusiasts and those looking for old ink sticks, how about this opportunity?
