This is an authentic antique Japanese Yatate, a traditional portable writing instrument used from the Edo period onward by samurai, merchants, and travelers. The set consists of a copper brush holder combined with an ink pot, accompanied by a round wooden ink container. The brush shaft and metal ink pot are made of copper, showing a naturally aged patina consistent with its historical use. The wooden ink container retains its original form and craftsmanship. There is a visible crack on the round wooden ink container. However, the piece remains structurally complete and stable. This condition is consistent with age and does not detract from its overall historical and collectible value. Yatate were essential tools for writing on the move, reflecting Japan’s refined calligraphy culture and practical design. This set is well suited for collectors of Japanese antiques, calligraphy tools, or Edo-period cultural artifacts.
