3-inch inkstone — grinding surface
A compact stone for grinding ink sticks. 3-inch size, suitable for beginners and tabletop use.
Add a few drops of water. Place the stick. Begin to turn.
Black appears slowly, density after density.
The stone does not provide the ink: it forces us to produce it.
The concentration is adjusted manually, by time and pressure.
This is where calligraphy begins.

🤍 Ikane Workshop Tip
Do not force it. Let the weight of the stick do the work.
The regularity of the circle determines the quality of the black.
