Green Duanxi Inkstone "Quince Pattern Inkstone" ○ Dimensions: 150mm (length) x 105mm (width) x 40mm (height), Weight: 1,144g ○ Includes a Tang wood top and bottom lid. *Although there is damage due to aging, it has been repaired by [Bokken] (Ink Grinding). ○ Taohe Green Stone, considered one of the four famous inkstones of China, was discovered in the Song Dynasty and was favored by emperors and literati as a superior inkstone to Duanxi inkstones. However, the quarry was lost due to the flooding of the Taohe River, and the mining period was short, so very few exist today, earning it the name "phantom inkstone." ○ The inkstone offered this time is one that [Bokken] acquired in the 1970s, aspiring to a green inkstone, as a "Taohe Green Stone Inkstone." However, as expected, the phantom remains a phantom, and [Bokken] estimates it to be a "Songhua River Green Stone" or a "Green Duanxi Stone Inkstone." ● Excellent ink flow and outstanding ink color! Please understand this as a "Songhua River Green Stone Inkstone" with a quince (flowering quince) fruit carved on the surface. ● The item will be shipped via Mercari delivery service.
