Ogatsu Suzuri once mined the best inkstone in Japan. ◉ This work, among the craftsman's specialties such as carved works, has three golden-brown gourds and leaves and vines carved on the lid stone. And in addition to the carving, it is finished with dotted markings, which is elaborate. On the hills and sea of the body, the stone patterns are beautifully visible in vertical silver mottled patterns. Furthermore, there are star-like white patterns. A brush rest is installed on the right side of the body. ◉ Due to the quality of the carving and the beauty of the shape, it is especially made for women, so why not add it to your collection?
