The recent remarkable development of the information society has brought about a great change in theliterate society. Writing by Chinese ink with an inkstone has become almost obsoleted. However, inkstones are stillone of the Japanese traditional handicrafts that are loved and treasured by calligraphers, painters, citizens who enjoycalligraphy, and arts and crafts enthusiasts. Until now, there has been limited about scientific research on traditionalChinese terms and notations related to inkstones, the functions of inkstones, natural figures on the inkstones, etc.We carried out preliminary petrological and mineralogical experiments of ink stones and reported its functional properties.In addition, domestic ink stone was also reviewed and the production environment was examined. In order to inheritthe unique Japanese traditional craft techniques, further contributions from geology, petrology, and mineralogy areexpected, such as elucidation of precise texture of inkstone and identifying high quality inkstone stone resources.
