Confucius in Thought Vintage Cinnabar Ink Stick!

There was a time way back when an item of function was always infused with elegance, order beauty, and evidence of a human hand. Time was more abundant, factories were just arising, and the value and pride placed on fine craftsmanship was greatly respected. For example, this amazing little sculpture is actually a vintage cinnabar ink stick. Of course you can collect it and keep it safely in a cabinet. OR you can celebrate the impermanence of life and actually USE it with the lightness of a Buddhist heart.

How, you ask? Just add a tiny amount of distilled water to an ink stone, place the ink stick on the tiny puddle and swirl a few dozen times. Add a bit more water. Repeat until you have the ink consistent of a half & half, a silky texture and you're set to brush this gorgeous hue onto your pointed or broad edge calligraphy nib, or natural/hair calligraphy brush.
