This is the Nouvel Pastel 12-color Set A, a piece of Showa retro! These are vintage pastels over 40 years old, from the early 1980s. The current new price is ¥1760 (excluding tax), so I am listing them at a lower price than the current product. Factors contributing to its vintage nature: ★ As these are vintage pastels, depending on the color, there may be retro, deep hues not found in current products due to differences in ingredients. ★ The package, naturally faded with age, adds to the vintage feel. ★ The company name written on the back of the package is proof of the rare old packaging from the Sakura Color Products era. ★ There is no barcode, and a ¥800 sticker is attached to the back of the package, serving as proof of the early 1980s. ★ The pastel dividers are intact, and although one pastel has a break, all 12 pastels remain at over 90% full, indicating they were used only for test drawing and are in good condition. ★ They hold value as a Showa retro vintage collection or for practical use, offering something current products lack. ★ The box shows signs of age such as scratches, dirt, and scuffed corners, but the pastels inside are still usable. The package has been cleaned with a disinfectant cleaner.
