It's likely that this item was a local product not sold in Japan at the time, so it's recommended for those looking for good old ink or rare 唐墨 at a low price m(_ _)m Please use it as a calligraphy item with your Japanese or Chinese inkstones. The Hu Kaiwen Ink Factory in Huizhou Jixi is an old factory in the Huizhou region that manufactures high-quality ink under the "Hu Kaiwen" brand. The ink features illustrations and characters themed around Huaqing Pool, a very famous hot spring depicted with the palaces of various Chinese kings, including King You of Zhou and Qin Shi Huang. There is also a legend that Yang Guifei bathed in the hot spring. Also, as it is written with the name of Guo Moruo, it is thought to be a design related to him. Of course, it can be used for calligraphy and ink painting, but it would also look good as an antique, ornament, or decoration. ■ Approximately 11.3cm long ■ Approximately 3.4cm wide ■ Approximately 1.1cm thick ■ I think it's in good condition for an antique, vintage, and antique item from the old days. ★ Please see the images for stains and shallow cracks, as it is an antique. ★ Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such things m(_ _)m Please read my profile. #InkForSaleHere Chinese Ink Ink Calligraphy Ink Old Ink Ink Liquid Hu Kaiwen Ink Stick Four Treasures of the Study Calligraphy Tools Calligraphy Supplies High-Quality Ink Suzhou Ink Shanghai Ink Huzhou Ink handmade ink chinese ink ink stick calligraphy ink sumi ink Traditional Ink Established Ink Natural Ink Yángzhī Ink (Lamb Fat Ink) Pine Smoke Ink Oil Smoke Ink Popular Ink Ink Specialty Store Aged Ink Ink Painting Ink Painting Supplies Southern School Painting Ink for Chinese Painting Ink Mold Inkstone Ink 唐墨 (Karasumi) Anhui Hu Kaiwen Anhui Chizhou Hu Kaiwen Suzhou Hu Kaiwen Xuancheng Hu Kaiwen Refined Hu Kaiwen Old Hu Kaiwen Hu Kaiwen Official Ink Hu Kaiwen Qing Ink Hu Kaiwen Oil Smoke Ink Hu Kaiwen Pine Smoke Ink Hu Kaiwen Imperial Ink Hu Kaiwen Hundred Year Old Ink Hu Kaiwen Five Treasures Ink Hu Kaiwen Special Ink Chinese Calligraphy and Painting Ink Eight Treasures Rare Old Ink Huizhou Xiucheng Hu Kaiwen Made Treasure Ink Oil Smoke Ink Chinese Item Chinese Ink 唐墨 (Karasumi) Solid Ink Japanese Ink Old Ink Inkstone Calligraphy Calligraphy Practice Antique Rain Palace Inkstone National Treasure Antique Vintage Tea Ceremony Flower Arrangement Crafts Japanese Painting Buddhist Painting Landscape Painting
