This is a vintage Japanese inkstone screen (suzuri-byōbu) crafted from iron. The front bears the inscriptions “清明” (Qingming) and “直正” (Tadashi-masa), while the back is adorned with a finely detailed depiction of a Shinto shrine. The piece is dated Showa 54 (1979), placing it in the late 20th century, yet it carries the refined atmosphere of traditional Japanese calligraphy culture.
Inkstone screens were often used in scholars’ and calligraphers’ studies as both practical and decorative items, symbolizing refinement and a reverence for learning. The combination of strong iron material and elegant inscriptions makes this a unique cultural artifact.
A meaningful collectible for lovers of Japanese antiques, calligraphy tools, or Shinto-inspired art. It can serve as both a decorative display and a conversation piece with rich cultural significance.
