The box is dirty as it is old. A sticker with a price of 1500 yen is attached to the box. This is likely a sumi (ink stick) from Nikou, a calligraphy supply company, with the mark "Nikou Hizou" (Nikou's Secret Collection). Product Category: Solid ink for calligraphy. Condition: The ink in the image is wrapped with something like tape for protection. It looks like it might have been used a little, but it's unclear. Those familiar with calligraphy will know. Calligraphy enthusiasts, please consider this.
