Kinkaku (Golden Pavilion) 5-Chogata, Unused This is a top-quality oil soot ink stick. It's wrapped in gold leaf, giving it a luxurious feel and presence. It's also very light, perhaps because it's well-aged, and has a pleasant fragrance. Because it's a large ink stick, you should be able to use it for a long time. For reference, I've included a sample of the ink color when ground (the one opened and used is my own). It's a very calm black color, and even in diluted ink, it has a sense of elegance. I am selling unused ones that I can't use up from a collection. *You can get a 300 yen discount if you purchase it with other ink sticks, so please let me know before you buy.* Size: 125mm long, 35mm wide, 13mm thick Weight: Approximately 55g (Approximate size and weight)
