Although new and unused, the box has scratches and stains due to age. The items are the same, but the color of the characters etc. is different. Same ink stick set of two, made by Anhui Hu Wenji in Huizhou, Anhui Province. These are items from my brother, who has been practicing calligraphy for over 50 years. Most of them were purchased and stored decades ago. Selling on request! Preparing for the end of life? (*^-^) Also selling inkstones, seal stones, old ink sticks, etc.! It seems that inkstones, paper, and ink improve with age, but? It's all Greek to me? There are too many items, and it takes time to research them. I will list them little by little. I would be happy if you could take a look when you have some free time. Thank you for viewing.
