As expected, the ink is Kuretake. Being a high-quality product, the feel when grinding, the solubility in water, and the way it adheres to the paper are completely different. Kuretake Seishodo Kana calligraphy ink "Mimuro" AF6-10, the popular 1.0 size ink stick New This is the item for sale★ Only taken out of the wooden box for authentication photos, it is an unused, beautiful item. Due to the influence of foreign tourists, etc., it is a popular item that is sometimes out of stock or in short supply, making it a great gift. Also, the fact that it is not sold at a discount due to its high quality is one of its attractions(^^) Even those who prefer ink liquid, please try the zen-like experience of grinding ink with a clear mind. How about experiencing the "joy" of approaching calligraphy with a beginner's mindset? For your calligraphy in 2025, of course, although it is for kana calligraphy, I personally recommend using it for ink painting like that of So-un Takeda, Bokuzan Sakaki, and Yuichi Inoue. Of course, it's also a great deal for those who use it regularly, so please consider it if you're interested★
