Make sure it’s Japanese. They sell sets for students. This is a critical point. Chinese calligraphy sets, especially those $20-30 ones, are absolute garbage for tourists who don’t know what they’re doing. They can also be good for rough painting, but legible writing? Not particularly.
This [Kuretake set](https://www.amazon.com/Kuretake-Calligraphy-Set-Black-Gm1-2/dp/B004GK5EMY/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?keywords=japanese+calligraphy+set&qid=1669528555&sr=8-7) is basically what students in Japan would use. The brand is a reputable stationery maker. For best results, I’d still recommend getting materials separately in person so that the user can assess the quality, but if you must get a set, I must insist it be Japanese because the Chinese ones will make it harder on your wife, especially if she’s a beginner.
