Good value for money
For the price, this is an exceptional Duan stone. It grinds well and the seal is tight. I've kept ink in it for three days without it drying out completely.

Beginner friendly
As someone new to calligraphy, this inkstone made the process much less intimidating. It holds moisture incredibly well, just as described. Highly recommended for students.

Beautiful natural patterns
Each stone seems unique. Mine has lovely purple streaks running through it. It's not just a tool but also a beautiful object to have on my desk.

Perfect for daily practice
I love how the lid keeps the ink moist overnight. I don't have to grind fresh ink every single morning anymore. The stone feels substantial and high quality.

Great stone, heavy lid
The grinding surface is excellent and creates a very smooth ink. The only minor issue is that the lid is quite heavy, so you have to be careful when opening it quickly.

No more waste!
I used to throw away so much leftover ink. With this lidded design, I can save it for weeks. The 'hot pot' style is very practical and easy to clean.
Q: Does this come with a brush or ink stick?
A: No, this listing is for the inkstone only. Brushes and ink sticks are sold separately.
Q: What is the best way to clean the stone after use?
A: Simply rinse with clean water and wipe gently with a soft cloth. Avoid using soap or detergents as they can affect the ink quality next time.
Q: Can I use liquid ink in this instead of grinding?
A: Yes, absolutely. While designed for grinding solid ink sticks, the reservoir works perfectly for holding pre-made liquid ink as well.
Q: How long can the ink actually stay moist?
A: Under normal indoor conditions with the lid securely closed, the ink can remain usable for up to one month, though we recommend using it within two weeks for best consistency.
Q: Is the stone genuine Duan stone or synthetic?
A: This is made from natural raw Duan stone, mined from the Zhaoqing region. Each piece has unique natural variations in color and texture.
