Three-layer ceramic Mizuki Suzuri (inkstone) - I think it's good for kana writing. Free shipping. Length: 12.2 cm, Width: 8.2 cm, Height: just under 2 cm, Weight: 186 grams. This is a Nara-ya original [three-layer ceramic] inkstone. It's lighter compared to stone. It was developed by researching the good points of the three major inkstones: Bankei, Chidei, and Kyoshu, and their fine abrasive edges (hobou). The catchphrase was "Taking the good points of the three major inkstones: Bankei, Chidei, and Kyoshu." Currently, this model number is discontinued, and only the large size is available, so I think this three-layer ceramic inkstone is valuable. Unlike stone, it's ceramic, so there's no (or almost no) deterioration, and it's easy to clean after grinding ink. Occasionally, it's good to rub the soot that gradually accumulates with felt, etc., even after washing the ink. ◆As shown in the uploaded photos◆ It is an unused item. It is a stored, unused item, and although the box has some scratches, the inkstone is new. Please refrain from bidding if you are concerned about any minor stains. ◆As shown in the uploaded photos◆ ◆I think it's relatively clean◆ It is an unused item. I think it's in a pretty good condition for a stored item, but there are some whitish areas on the sides, which I think will disappear with use. (This is based on my subjective opinion) I think it's a relatively clean item, but please bid only if you understand that there may be some age-related changes. Please refrain from bidding if you are concerned about any minor stains. ◆As shown in the uploaded photos◆
