Description
This is an antique set of calligraphic ink blocks. A Japanese, boxed set of 8 soot ink shapes, dating to the late Victorian period, circa 1900.
Ink blocks are one of the Four Treasures of Japanese ink painting displaying a desirable aged patina and good original order. Composed of soot oil, intended for grinding on an ink stone with a small amount of water. Such ink is the basis of the famous Sumi-e art style. Each of the eight blocks is decorated to both sides with traditional scenes, with gilt accents.
This is a fascinating antique set of calligraphic ink blocks, presented in wonderfully preserved order within a distinctive, aged case. A treat for the art appreciator or collector. Delivered ready to enjoy.
