Inkstone main body size: Approximately 74 x 44 x 12mm
The balance of the roughness and fineness of the grinding surface, as well as its hardness and softness, is excellent. The color is black or dark indigo, with a rich luster and a smooth stone surface, making it attractive as a tool. Made of black hard slate, its properties include resistance to compression and bending, low water absorption, and resistance to alteration by chemical action or the passage of many years. Furthermore, the natural patterns on the stone surface possess an elegance that never tires the eye, and a feminine beauty reminiscent of soft black hair. It grinds both oil-based ink and pine-soot ink well. Even for light ink washes, it seems that grinding it to a dark concentration first and then gradually diluting it with water will improve ink dispersion and ink color.
* Due to the nature of the stone (slate), there are linear patterns on the inkstone surface.
* As it is a natural stone, the stone patterns vary from one surface to another.
* The patterns on the sides vary from one surface to another.
* The actual product size may differ slightly from the displayed size.
