The inkstone appears to have a fine crack.
(It seems unused, but this is not certain.)
Please refer to the photos, which have been taken to be as clear as possible.
Due to this, the inkstone cannot be removed from the box.
It is unclear whether it is intentionally glued or simply stuck.
It will be sold as-is without attempting to force it out.

These items belonged to my aunt, a calligrapher.
(She ran calligraphy classes in Osaka and Kyoto and was active as a calligrapher,
teaching sumi-e,絵手紙 (picture letters), and顔彩 (Japanese mineral pigments).)
Her husband's family owned an antique shop in Gion Shinmonzen,
so it is likely she collected these items when unusual or rare pieces became available.
Due to her advanced age, wheelchair use, and mild dementia exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic,
it is now difficult for her to confirm details. Therefore, we do not know the specifics of the items,
purchase dates, or purchase prices. Please judge from the images.
