Natural Stone Fūchin with Burgundy Tassels – Japanese Scroll Weight Pair, Earth-Tone Marble Sphere
• Natural earth-tone stone: warm brown, charcoal grey, and subtle mineral marbling
• Deep burgundy braided cord and tassels
Each stone sphere carries its own unique landscape-like pattern - no two pairs are ever identical.
Fūchin Materials
• Natural polished stone (marble / onyx family, selected for layered mineral veining)
• Hand-braided Japanese-style cord
• Silk-blend tassels
• Brass inner eyelets
This type of natural stone is prized for its soft translucency and flowing banded structure, formed over millions of years through mineral sedimentation. The surface is carefully hand-polished to reveal organic layers resembling mountain strata or ink-wash clouds - a quiet dialogue between nature and craftsmanship.
Weight is balanced to gently tension hanging scrolls without damaging paper or silk.
Kakemono Pairing Suggestions
Especially suitable for:
• Zen ink landscapes (山水水墨画)
• Calligraphy scrolls with bold or grounded brushwork
• Earth-tone or autumn palette paintings
• Wabi-sabi or rustic Japanese interiors
The deep burgundy tassels echo traditional seal reds while the stone’s natural pattern harmonizes beautifully with sumi ink and aged paper.
Additional Uses
Beyond kakemono, these fūchin may also be used as:
• Decorative weights for shelves or cabinets
• Tea room accents
• Tansu or display cabinet ornaments
• Meditation or reading corner décor
A subtle collectible for lovers of Japanese aesthetics and natural materials
