Product Number: 42 Product Name: "Kahara Kei" Set of 2 Kuretake Solid Ink Stick Although the manufacturing year is unknown, based on items stored together, it is believed to be an old ink stick manufactured around 1975-1998. As it is an antique item, there is age-related deterioration in the wrapping paper, cloth, and paulownia wood box. Please refer to the photos and only purchase if you understand. It is said that solid ink sticks are better to use after they have been aged for many years rather than immediately after manufacture, as the brushwork becomes lighter, and changes in bleeding and ink color appear, allowing for richer expression. This item was carefully collected by my grandparents, who ran a stationery store during their lifetime. I would be very happy if it reaches someone who can make wonderful works of art with it. Weight of the two ink sticks: 91g Size of one ink stick: Length: Approximately 8.3cm Width: Approximately 4.5cm Thickness: Approximately 1.0cm Original Price: 12,000 yen x 2 = 24,000 yen ⚠ Opened for inspection and photography before listing. ⚠ Starting April 6, 2025, I will be overlaying text on the photos of ink stick items.
