[8] Shape: Nagahisa Matsu (Long-lasting Pine) carved lid with Nomenseki (natural stone surface) inkstone. ◉ The Akama Suzuri, with its unique reddish hue, is arguably the only one of its kind in Japan. It is characterized by its fine, hard, and dense stone quality, and its beautiful stone surface. ◉ This piece features eight long-lasting pine leaves, arranged well and carved on the upper edge and lid, with carefully applied stippling near the edges to create a matte finish, adding an extra touch. As it is an inkstone with a lid, it holds ink well. Furthermore, the upper box of the paulownia wood box displays the master's unique, proud, soft, and flowing brushwork. This is a charming, large work of art that can be used or admired as a craft item. Please consider it.
