The stone pattern features a mottled appearance of dark green and pale blue-green stone patterns on the adzuki bean-colored base, which is characteristic of Shikinkei stone, resembling hills and the sea, and is also clearly visible in the ink well. This is a unique work among Shikinkei stones. Shikinkei inkstones are specially made due to the rarity of the stone. Also, when you run your fingertip along the inside edge of the inkstone, you can feel the sharpness of the finish, clearly demonstrating the skill of the artisan. This work is relatively small and in new, beautiful condition, so it is attractive to use or to admire as a craft item. It is a cute work, so it is suitable for women, please consider it. ◉ Reference Amatani Stone, Mine Stone, Yoshishi Yamashita, Amatani Stone, Seiken Amemiya, Yahei, Yataro, Ogatsu Stone, Toryusai, Moriyuki Endo, Ryukei Stone, Nabekura Ryukei Stone, Shuseki, Shiun Stone, Kokei Stone, Yodo, Horaiji Stone, Hozan, Kokuji Stone, Kokei Stone, Yodo, Takashima Torafuseki Stone, Takada Stone, Wakada Stone, Tosa Stone, Nakamura Stone, Soryuseki Stone, Nachiguro Stone, Tamaishi, Komine, Akama Stone, Takuji, Shinobu, Shoryuzan, Yuishi, Teisai, Gyokuchiken, Gyokumine, Morokaseki Stone, Yakushima Stone ※ Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive or seeking perfection. ※ Please check the images carefully. ※ Please be sure to read my profile. ※ ⭕️ Please take a look at the works I have posted so far.
