文房三宝

This gift was on my wish list. Allen Lin, a friend in L.A. sent it to me. The tall wooden thing holds the brushes the same way a painter hangs his brushes to dry. The flat stone object holds the ink. The box on the right is the dry ink which has to be mixed with water on the stone to make the ink. I hope to do some beautiful Chinese calligraphy in the near future.　　... Candy
