Three unused ink sticks, cherished by a calligrapher. These are old, high-quality ink sticks. Purchased in the mid-1970s and carefully stored. Having aged for about 40 years since manufacture, the glue has likely dried, resulting in a desirable state. While it's relatively easy to obtain newer ink sticks, these, having aged for around 40 years, are considered valuable. 【Ink Sticks】 ● Name: "Shoka" (松花) ● Manufacturer: Kuretake Seishodo ● Year of Manufacture: (Purchased) Around 1980 ● Side Inscription: "Kuretake Seishodo" ● Top: None ● Box: Wooden box 【Features】 ※ Please refer to the images for writing and stains on the box.
