These carved seal stones have been carefully stored at home by my grandfather for many years.
They were passed down to me as part of his collection from when he enjoyed calligraphy.

This is an antique artistic seal set from Makita Inbo (formerly Mochizuki Town, Nagano Prefecture [now Saku City]).

The mythical beast, the lion (Guardian Lion-Dog At Shinto Shrine), has been revered since ancient times as a symbol of warding off evil, protection, and prosperity, alongside the dragon. The sight of two pairs of lions nestled together exudes both strength and a mysterious sense of peace.

■ Material
Appears to be a natural stone seal material with the aesthetic of Shoushan stone.
It has a moist, translucent quality characteristic of frozen stone, revealing a soft, deep expression when held up to the light.

■ Size
Lion-knob seal stones x 2
Approx. 1.2cm square x 6.0cm length / Weight: Approx. 20.7g each
Small seal stone x 1 (with a large chip)
Approx. 0.6cm x 1.0cm / Weight: Approx. 7.5g
• Accessories: Box, Memo paper

■ Condition
Due to age, the stone surface has settled into a moist texture, developing a vintage feel that cannot be replicated in modern items.
⭐️ One of the small seal stones has a large chip. There are also minor scuffs inherent to natural materials and antiques, but please only purchase if you understand and appreciate these as part of the item's history.

■
Recommended not only for practical use but also as an auspicious decorative object or display stone for interior decor.
