☆I am also selling other calligraphy-related items, so please take a look☆ This is a solid ink stick made by Kuretake Seishodo. It is a representative ink of Kuretake, made with tradition in mind. I remember buying it about 30 years ago and trying it out once. The gold lettering and design (swallows and waves) are beautiful. It is now discontinued, so I think it is a valuable item that is no longer available. If you are looking for one, please do! It produces a vivid pure black when used as a thick ink, and a light tea-colored ink when used as a diluted ink. Suitable for calligraphy, kana characters, sutra copying, picture letters, ink wash painting, Japanese painting, sumi-e, etc. Size Weight: 150g (10-cho type) Please check the size in the image. ● Since it is an old item, there are traces of peeled stickers and chipped parts. ● It was stored in a drawer on a loft shelf away from direct sunlight. Please understand that this is a vintage item stored at home and inspected by an amateur. ● I am selling brand-name, retro, vintage items, clothing, Japanese clothing accessories, rare magazines, art supplies, fitness wear, electrical appliances, interior goods, etc., so please take a look! #Kuretake #Ink #SolidInk #CalligraphyInk #HighQualityInk #BlueInk #CalligraphySupplies #Ink #TeaInk #Calligraphy #KanaCharacters #SutraCopying #InkWashPainting #PictureLetters #Calligraphy #CalligraphyTools #JapaneseInk #Inkstone Kana Kana Kanji #JapanesePainting #Sumi-e #JapanesePaintingMaterials #CalligraphyAndPainting #AntiqueCollection
