Please read the following to the end <(_ _)> There may be deterioration, stains, and minor scratches due to aging. I have noted any noticeable damage or points I noticed, but there may be oversights due to personal perception. Please inquire before purchasing if you have any concerns. (I don't know much, but I'll answer what I can...) Please purchase if you are not concerned about minor details. If sold as a set, individual sales are not possible. Shipping will use recycled materials and the cheapest method. If you are concerned, we can change to a more secure method for an additional fee, so please inquire in the comments. There is a possibility of breakage or chipping during shipping (If the box and ink stick rattle, I will cushion them with tissue, kitchen paper, or cotton swabs). This item belonged to my aunt, a calligrapher. (She runs calligraphy classes in Osaka, Kyoto, etc., and is also active as a calligrapher. She also teaches ink painting, picture letters, haiga, and gansai painting.) She is elderly and uses a wheelchair, and due to the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, she also has mild dementia, making it impossible to confirm details. Please judge from the images. I also practiced calligraphy (30 years of calligraphy classes, closed the studio when I started home care), so I inherited these items, but I haven't used them. I hope they will be used by someone who can appreciate them, or by collectors... I will be listing calligraphy-related items, tools for picture letters, haiga, ink painting, and hobby items, etc., over a long period of time while cleaning up my aunt's house during breaks from work. 9.4
