Natural Black Onyx Marble Fūchin – Japanese Scroll Weight Pair with Rust Silk Tassels | Handmade Kakemono Stone Weights

Colors

Deep charcoal black with subtle smoky grey marbling, paired with warm rust-red silk tassels. Each stone shows unique natural veining, making every set one of a kind.

Fūchin Materials

• Hand-polished natural black onyx marble (calcite-based decorative stone, not ceramic)
• Traditional Japanese braided silk cords and tassels
• Solid brass grommets

This type of onyx marble is valued for its soft translucency, cloud-like mineral patterns, and quiet depth of color. Formed through natural calcite deposition, it has long been used in East Asian interior objects for its calm presence and grounding aesthetic.

Kakemono Pairing Suggestions

Pairs beautifully with sumi-e landscapes, zen calligraphy, minimalist ink paintings, or scrolls featuring mountains, rivers, or winter scenes. Especially suited for darker wood scroll rods and contemporary wabi-sabi interiors.

Additional Uses

• Decorative tassel weights for wall scrolls
• Accent objects for tea rooms or meditation spaces
• Styling elements for shelves or tokonoma alcoves
• Collectible Japanese interior accessories

Each set is naturally unique due to stone formation and hand finishing.
