Two high-grade Nara oil soot antique ink sticks, one and a half chos each. With scratches, offered at a bargain price! My grandmother owned these for her high-quality works. These are Showa-era high-grade oil soot aged ink sticks from a long-established Nara shop. One and a half chos, 23g each, two pieces. These are famous inks for advanced users and high-quality works. If they were without scratches, you wouldn't be able to get them at this low price. They don't affect use, so I'm offering them to those who want to try a higher-grade oil soot ink. These are not recent inks, so I recommend them to advanced users who appreciate authenticity. Please consider them as they are. 10-6
