Got 3 antique, high-quality Nara-made pine soot ink sticks! High-grade ink, with scratches, a super deal! My grandmother owned these for her high-end artwork. These are three high-grade pine soot ink sticks, for advanced calligraphy and painting, each weighing 15g. I'm told they're from around the 1940s. They are unused, but please understand they have scratches from long-term storage. Genuine pure pine soot ink is expensive even in small sizes. I've heard that a 15g ink stick can cost over 10,000 yen, and was the ink that painters dreamed of. I think the pine soot ink was more precious to my grandmother than her own life. They are unused, but have scratches from long-term storage, so I'm offering them at a bargain price to serious, advanced users. Please understand they are old and sold as-is. Each ink stick is approximately 15g x 3, with the maker's mark. Only one set available, so don't miss out! 11-28
