Good condition. Description: The ink stone box is a fine example of traditional Japanese lacquerware, featuring elegant designs and refined craftsmanship. The box has a rectangular shape with rounded edges, typical for ink stone boxes, and is decorated with delicate gold maki-e (sprinkled picture) designs that depict pine needles and pine cones, which are symbolic of longevity and resilience in Japanese culture. The interior of the box contains a suzuri, an ink stone used for grinding ink sticks, which is a central component of Japanese calligraphy. There is also a silver decorative element, likely an ink holder or water dropper, designed in a sunburst pattern. The exterior's black lacquer finish, combined with the gold maki-e artwork, gives the box a refined and luxurious appearance, showcasing the balance between functionality and artistry typical of Japanese lacquerware. This piece is likely intended for a scholar's desk, reflecting the importance of aesthetics even in everyday tools for writing and painting. NOTICE
