Yi county's inkstones come in all sizes. The larger ones are used for serving tea, or are decorative. One massive piece portrays multiple cavorting dragons, covering an area big enough to fill a small apartment (and thus requires its own shed outside of the showrooms).

Hebei's Yi County produced the first inkstones in China. Particularly popular during the Tang and Song dynasties, Yi County's inkstones have maintained their place in history. As the ink embraces the scroll, people hold onto the pieces of culture that help them to express and experience elegance, simplicity and beauty.
