- Antique Japanese Writing Set - Yatate Portable Case
 | Description Antique Japanese writing case (yatate) featuring integrated brush case and inkwell (sumi tsubo). This calligraphy tool dates from the late 19th or early 20th century and was designed to be carried at the waist tucked into the owner's kimono obi (sash used to secure the kimono at the waist). To use the writing kit the owner would lift the inkwell lid in order to access the brush (not included) which is carried in the tube-like shaft. The ink well was designed to hold ink-saturated cotton which prevented the ink from spilling. This old writing case is in poor condition having suffered much wear from use and age. The copper case and brush shaft are dented and discolored. The inkwell lid opens easily yet the lid does not close completely. Please read below to learn more about Japanese calligraphy. Size: Height: 1.4 inches (3.5 centimeters) Length: 8.0 inches (20.5 centimeters) Width of ink basin: 1.4 inches (3.7 centimeters) Weight: 4.6 ounces (130 grams) More about Japanese Calligraphy Good penmanship as well as talent with a writing brush were skills more valued in the past, before typewriters, word processors and email largely removed the visual element of style from our writing. Brush and ink were the most common writing tools in Asia before the start of the 20th century, and a writer's artistry was to a large extent measured as much by the beauty of the characters he created as the meaning they were meant to communicate. The most basic tools of calligraphy include a brush (fude in Japanese), inkstone (suzuri), ink stick (sumi) and water dropper (suiteki). Additional tools exist though these are the most essential. During the late Heian period (794-1185) the standard writing box (suzuribako) was introduced into Japan from China where it became an essential tool of Japanese business and domestic life. Writing boxes typically contain all of the tools listed above plus others, and in the past were produced in many forms including simple utilitarian models for shopkeepers, elegant versions for display in the home and even portable kits one could easily carry on their person. Though few modern Japanese ever use a brush and ink outside a classroom, as a culture they nevertheless continue to appreciate the beauty and artistry of writing produced by a talented calligrapher. item code: R1S4-0005583 category code: (calligmono) ship code: L1650

- Buy Gold & Silver Before The US Dollar Collapse
 | http://BuyingPreciousMetals.infoThe biggest problem is the so-called economic stimulus which will continue to devalue the U.S. dollar, and erode its buying power. Printing money is also inflation, and no matter how many U.S. Treasury bonds China may buy, they won’t be able to come near to buying up the outrageous debt being incurred by the U.S. government.What that means is the money printing presses will have to continue to run full time, without there being any other way to pay back the enormous debt load now being thrust upon the American people. That means inflation is already here, which is the hidden tax.The collapse of the dollar means there will still be a piece of paper with dead presidents on it, but that piece of paper will continue to buy less and less, while prices rise and the value of the dollar erodes as money is printed and printed to pay off what we can't afford.In this situation, one of the strong alternatives to protect your money is to buy gold and silver as this will preserve the value of your asset. What type of gold should you buy? - Aren't they all the same? There are coins, bullion, antique coins, stocks, mines, futures and commodities markets, stocks and funds that invest in mining and equipment that's used to mine it and other precious metals.There are American gold and silver coins and several countries produce coins of some sort and in several different denominations, sizes and quality.Would buying gold and silver online be a better way to do it? - You wouldn't know whether an online dealer is reputable or not, would you? Check the Better Business Bureau, check with independent sources from Internet, family and friends. If they've only been in business a short time, be extra wary, but even established dealers have been known to have problems.One of the several questions you should be considering is if you want to keep it yourself or have the dealer keep it for you.
