Thank you for viewing. I have kept this item in storage for a long time, with no definite purchase date. When taking the first photo, one brush was wobbly, so I glued it with adhesive. At that time, I also checked if the brush was damaged by washing it with water. The other four brushes seem fine even when pulled. The box is dirty. I removed and discarded the price tag, but the purchase price was 10,000 yen. There are five brushes, but please understand that the price is for four. Other calligraphy brushes are also on sale. Although it is new and unused, I have marked it as having no noticeable scratches or stains due to aging. Thank you for your understanding.
