Ogatsu-suzuri originated around the 14th century. Suzuri (an inkstone) is an implement made from a claylike stone and used in calligraphy. An ink stick is rubbed on the inkstone with a small amount of water. The surface of the inkstone, though it appears smooth to the naked eye, works just like a file. This is due to the elements, such as quartz, copper, and iron, contained in the stone.
