Paperweight (bunchin 文鎮)
When writing with brush and ink, the writer uses a paperweight to fix the paper on the top of the page. This heavy metal bar prevents paper from moving.
Japanses paper weights come in many shapes and of many materials, some are rather artistic and collector's items. Most are rather long to make sure the paper is kept securely in place.
I have a few with three or four Daruma sitting side by side to keep the paper steady.
