I know these aren't valuable i.e. vintage but I'm curious what they are...
re the smaller black block in a box, when I used a chinese translating app on the iphone I got words re light and millenium, suspecting the small black item is chinese... any idea ? I was told it was likely japanese charcoal but I doubt it. the other is japanese calligraphy brush set (pretty sure its japanese)
I'm asking about the top black block with chinese? characters at the top of the photo. thank you

Japanese also do calligraphy but these are Chinese.

I speak English, Danish, some French, Japanese and a little German. (We travelled and lived in other countries)
But I only read basic Japanese characters not the Chinese characters. (Kanji) A Chinese friend nearby translates for me.
I shall see if he can see it well enough from my photo of the computer screen and let you know the manufacturer.
