Offered is a traditional Japanese sumi ink stick, handmade and aged, intended for authentic calligraphy use.
This piece features hand-carved relief decoration and seal-style workshop markings, typical of mid-20th-century Japanese sumi made for serious practitioners rather than tourist export. The ink exhibits a natural aromatic scent that blooms when gently warmed, indicating traditional materials and proper aging.
The surface shows honest age patina consistent with decades of storage. No cracks or structural damage observed. Stored unused in its original small box.
This is solid sumi ink, used by grinding with water on an ink stone to produce liquid ink. It has not been ground or tested, preserving its collectible and functional value.
