【Product Name】 Ubatake Suzu (Ubatake Inkstone) by Seiken Amemiya, with original box 【Overview】 This is an inkstone from the traditional craft of Yamanashi Prefecture, "Ubatake Suzu (Ubatake Inkstone)," inscribed with "Seiken Amemiya" on the box. It is characterized by the smooth grinding surface and the solid construction of Ubatake stone. "Seiken Amemiya" is a pseudonym passed down through the Amemiya family of inkstone artisans since the Edo period. In particular, the eleventh generation, Seiken Amemiya (Yahei Amemiya, 1892-1973), is known as a master of inkstone craftsmanship. Although there is no mention of "Eleventh Generation" on the box of this item, it can be inferred that it was made with the reliable techniques passed down in the Amemiya family. 【Condition】 ・The inkstone itself shows signs of use, but the ink grinds well and there are no problems with practical use. ・With original box (The wooden box is in poor condition, with cracks and broken parts due to aging, etc.) ・Signed "Seiken Amemiya," with red seal (see images) 【Size】 (Approx. 15cm long x 9cm wide) 【Please Note】 As there is no mention of "Eleventh Generation," it cannot be definitively stated whether this is the work of the eleventh generation Seiken Amemiya (Yahei Amemiya) himself, but I believe it is a genuine inkstone from the Amemiya family. We cannot guarantee its authenticity, so please purchase only if you understand this. 【Recommended Uses】 ・As a practical inkstone (for calligraphy, shuji, and sutra copying) ・For collecting antique art and crafts ・As a gift for those who love the Four Treasures of the Study Thank you very much.
