Price reduced! Thank you very much for taking a look at my item from among many others. This is authentic Chinese vermilion ink from Shanghai. My mother used it a few times about 15 years ago when she was painting Japanese-style paintings. It has been stored at home for a long time, but I have no plans to use it, so I am offering it for sale. No pets, no smoking. I would appreciate it if those who are okay with a used item would consider purchasing it. Thank you.
