Two valuable vintage Nara oil soot ink sticks from a long-established Showa era shop, a bargain! Rare, high-quality ink in good condition! These are vintage oil soot ink sticks from a now-defunct, long-established Nara shop from the Showa era. I've been told they are from around the 1950s. They are unused and in good condition, so please use them for your artwork. Each is a 1.5-cho type, approximately 23g. It's difficult to find good quality, aged ink like this at a low price. These are the only ones available, so if you're interested, don't delay! A masterpiece you won't regret. These are not recent ink, so please understand the current condition. 9-6
