Taisho and Showa Retro Natural Antique Ink, 5 Pieces 100-Year-Old Antique Ink, Cracked and Chipped I was told that my mother used these when she was a child. I believe they are natural oil soot ink from the Taisho and Showa eras. They are not in good condition due to age, but I will sell them to those interested in old, dried ink from that time. I believe you will surely find new discoveries and feelings of inspiration. Since they are antiques from nearly 100 years ago, please consider them as they are. These are the only items available, so please don't hesitate if you are interested. One block type, 15g x 5, 10-40
