This is a calligraphy set. I bought it online, not through the school, so it's different from what other kids have. The bag has some stains. There's some paint chipping on the handle. It also comes with a shoulder strap. The set includes everything in the photos (no ink). Please purchase brushes and ink separately. The writing mat has ink stains. Additional information: Ink is not included, so please purchase it separately. I've added photos of the paint chipping on the handle and other areas of concern.
