If you read Chinese, there’s an extensive story on the back cover of the set, to explain everything. We have two similar but not identical sets available (see also our entry 34400385), with one focusing on “chops” and the other on art and calligraphy. Scan #34400384 shows the front of the cover (lower left) and two sample cards from the set of 10–all unused. Scan #34400385 does the same for the other set. Cost is per set. Take both for $20.
