Thank you for viewing. (Please also read the profile if possible) ● This is a Sumi-e inkstone with a beautiful eel yellow color and a carved Taotie (monster mask) pattern (approximately a 9-inch large rectangular inkstone). It's an inkstone from nearly fifty years ago. There are corresponding scratches, marks, and ink residue due to aging, but the inkstone's grinding surface (锋鋩) is strong and well-maintained, and the ink grinding and ink release are quite excellent. I believe this is a Sumi-e inkstone that possesses both aesthetic and practical qualities. 【Features and Size of the Inkstone】 ★ Sumi-e Inkstone, Taotie Pattern (Beautiful Eel Yellow, with a Tang Wood Box, Inkstone from nearly fifty years ago, formerly owned by a calligrapher acquaintance) Inkstone body only ⇒ Approximately 22.0 x 14.1 x 3.0 cm (approx. 9 inches, approx. 2035g) Including the Tang wood box ⇒ Approximately 25.3 x 16.7 x 5.2 cm (approx. 2695g) ● Due to camera functions and lighting, there may be some differences between the images posted and the impression of the actual item, but please understand this in advance. ● Recently, it seems that some people are illegally copying the descriptions and images from my Mercari listing page and selling them at extremely low prices on fake websites, even though they don't have the actual item.
