For the cover designs on writing boxes, Chinese motifs like Mt. Penglai (Horai-zan in Japanese), the island of immortality, remained popular. A landscape with a river, buildings, mountains, trees, and clouds decorates the top of this portable writing box while the inside is embellished with clouds, birds, water, and grasses and offers a space for a tiny ink stone.
I may have developed an obsession with Victorian writing slopes/boxes. Is there a support group for collectors of writing boxes, fountain pens, and stationery items?
Please advise, posthaste.
Meanwhile, I am uttering the distress call of my people.
