Discover the craftsmanship of our Rectangular Ink Stone, crafted from natural black stone sourced from mountain streams. Perfectly designed for grinding ink sticks, these stones preserve ink moisture, ensuring a seamless flow for calligraphy and painting.

Each stone features a meticulously hand-carved cavity, facilitating efficient grinding with water to produce deep, black ink. The stone's unique properties maintain ink quality, making it indispensable for artists and calligraphers.

How to use: Add a small amount of water to the well (the deeper reservoir of the ink stone). Pull some of this water onto the flat grinding surface, then rub the ink stick against the stone to release pigment into the water. Continue grinding until the mixture becomes a rich, dark ink.

Angular brush

Choose a part of the brush to learn what it does. Product-specific properties appear separately above when the relevant metafield is populated.

Bristles

The working end of the brush carries and releases paint. Its shape, material and condition influence the mark it can make.

What does stiffness tell me?
Stiffness describes resistance when the bristles meet the surface. The product-specific rating above appears only when a stiffness value is recorded.
Why does springiness matter?
Springiness describes how readily the brush returns toward its shape after pressure. It can affect control and the feel of a stroke.
Water and paint retention
Water retention describes how much water the brush can carry; paint retention describes how much paint it can pick up and hold. Use the ratings above as product-specific guidance when supplied.
