Something for the Chinese New Year

Our son worked in China for a while a few years back, and he brought this home for me as a Christmas Present. The inks & brushes are contained in a gorgeous box. So the top picture is the outside of the box, and the bottom one its lovely contents. As you can see, it is so lovely I am loathe to use it too much. So thought you might like to see this as it is the Chinese New Year. I was born in the year of the Rat, what about you?
