This is a complete calligraphy set, including two brushes (large and small), an ink stone, a paperweight, a brush rest, an eyedropper, ink, a writing mat, a paper folder, and paper. You should be able to use it right away. The items for sale are all shown in the photos. The set will be stored in the case in the second photo and shipped. The practice ink is about 30% full, and the formal ink is about 90% full (seller's estimate). The brushes and the rolling mat have stains (ink marks). Please understand that these items are used before purchasing. This is from a non-smoking, pet-free home. Thank you for your consideration.
