Calligraphy inkstones, especially elaborately designed ones, can cost over $5,000. While the traditional practice of using an ink stick and inkstone is less common now that liquid ink exists, the artistry and labor involved in making inkstones, for use or as collectibles, keeps demand alive.

@@MrUNCLESAM84 People pay for somethings quality and condition, they don't pay based on the person's origins.. it's not China's fault, Chinese people are plagued with the problem of it being the primary source for cheap products and fakes.. not joking in some collecting worlds I am in, China is the one source you never trust unless you go there in person the risk is just far to high NOT because they are Chinese, but because it is a known fact for it to be a common source for fakes. Like with Pokémon cards for one example, Walmart in person stores have REAL cards, Walmart's online section however is riddled with fakes because of a Chinese business known as JoyBuy that is connected to Walmart and scams people out of hundreds of dollars worth of products they are faking. That's just one example, but to assume racism, makes you the racist. The majority of people are not making a choice based on the person unless they are truly racist (but again you can't assume this), they're making the decision based on the product and the history with the product and those sources. Hope you do some research before throwing random out of you ass claims especially about things like racism.

The reasons inkstones is much better than bottled ink. The ink stick can be exploited by the pressure on the inkstone. This means the fineness of ink particles can be controlled. The inksticks come in a huge variety of starting ingredients. The soot made from oil, pine or other trees, tar soot, lacquer soot, etc. This gives the ink variations in subtle tints from blue, purple to reddish and greenish. The glue used effects the body of the ink on the brush. How it interacts with water and the paper. The older the inkstick the better it is. The molecular weight drops, which gives the ink a faster yet more controllable feel. The ink also sticks to the hair in a way, which always the brush to be far more sensitive. Especially when using very fine hair of high quality brushes. Bottled ink attacks the hair of the brushes, wearing them out quicker. Older ink does not dry out as quick, if it does, the rewetting doesn't cause uncontrolled streaking issues or rings. Inksticks over 15 years but generally more than twenty, does not go off in a day. It can ge kept up to two weeks and never stinks, unlike bottled ink which smells rancid after a day or two. Bottled ink is much more difficult to clean out of the brush. In the end inksticks are actually cheaper. Each can produce several gallons or more. Beware of poor quality inksticks and inkstones. Never buy inkstones based on name. Low quality stones can come from famous pits because of the limited supply. A good quality inkstick feels like fingernail. Oily, smooth yet a slightly sticky. Bever too heavy. Japanese and Koreans may lacquer and buff some types of inksticks. These are very shiny. Crisp details in design never sloppy. A hollow sound as an nkstick ages, when flicked with the finger. GoodCharacters out of California sells high quality Sam Yick brushes and a good colkection of inksticks.

@@MrUNCLESAM84Indians and Chinese take shortcuts to mass produce souvenirs and everyone knows it and that is why their work sells for a lot less. Anyone who puts a lot of work into a piece will not sell it for dirt cheap; the Indians and Chinese will simply not spend this much time on a single piece because there is no demand for such things in their respective markets. This guy is only able to sell these stones for that much because there is demand for them and he has a good reputation for doing excellent work.

In the case of the fashion industry apprciation for the craft has died and all that remains is fast fashion and runways as we know them today.

But he's crazy not to be using a bandsaw for the first steps; no one, including the artisan, would be able to see any difference in the finished product after cutting it with a bandsaw vs cutting it with a hand saw.

I am curious, could the shavings and chipped pieces of the stones be sold and repurposed, maybe somehow turned into a clay to be made into cheaper inkstones? Obviously the additive of using binders to turn the dust into a clay would lower the quality, I just wonder if there is potential in something like that.
