[7] Condition: New, beautiful condition [8] Shape: Komachi-ken (labor-intensive) ◉ This is a new, unused work by the master craftsman Yuiseki Shimoi of Akama Suzuri. The Akama Suzuri, with its unique reddish hue, is said to be the only one of its kind in Japan. It is characterized by its fine, hard, and dense stone quality, and its beautiful stone surface. The craftsman was honored with an exhibition by the then Emperor and Empress in 1996, and his work was purchased by the Imperial Household Agency. Small, pale green stars are scattered across the adzuki bean-colored base, resembling the sea and hills. Furthermore, green-blue colors are also visible on the underside of the inkstone, immediately below the characters for Akama Suzuri and 2cm below, and also 4cm to the right, in round and rectangular shapes, making it unique. The characteristic crimson color of the Akama stone is very beautiful. The edges and sides of the inkstone are meticulously finished to a smooth, flat surface. The sharpness of the edge of the inkstone is such that it can cut the fingertip when traced, clearly demonstrating the skill of the inkstone maker. The underside of the inkstone is deeply engraved with magnificent characters, showing the high level of skill and confidence of the craftsman. Because of the beautiful and special shape of the inkstone, it is a work that is suitable for women to use and enjoy looking at. Please consider it. ◉ Reference Shiun Suzuri, Tetsusaburo, Yukio, Okatsu Suzuri, Toryusai, Moriyuki Endo, Amehata Suzuri, Mine Suzuri, Hoseki, Amatoba Suzuri, Seiken Amemiya, Yahei, Yataro, Ryukei Suzuri, Ryukei Nabekura, Shuseki, Takada Suzuri, Moroka Suzuri, Wakada Suzuri, Horaiji Suzuri, Hozan, Takashima Torafuzuri, Kokuji Suzuri, Tosa Suzuri, Nakamura Suzuri, Nachiguro Suzuri, Tamaishi, Komine, Akama Suzuri, Takuji Horio, Shinobu, Gyokuchiken, Gyokumine, Yoichi, Teisai, Shoryuzan, Kokei Suzuri, Baiyo, Yodo, Yakushima Suzuri ※ Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for perfection or are overly sensitive. ※ Please check the images carefully. ※ Please be sure to read my profile. ※ ⭕️ Please take a look at the works I have listed so far.
