This is a brand new, unused vermilion ink pad from Takaoka copperware. The lid of the ink pad is engraved with "Mitsui Life" and other characters (see photo 4). In order to list this item, I tested it by stamping a seal, and the color was faint, so it cannot be used as an ink pad without refilling. We are looking forward to your purchase if you understand the condition of the item.
