Thank you for viewing this page. Please read the following before considering a purchase. Matsumoto Temari Yaegiku (Double Chrysanthemum) Blue Includes: Dedicated wooden stand, box, 2 types of bookmarks, maker's label Size: Temari...Diameter approx. 8.5-9cm Stand...Side approx. 6cm, Height approx. 1.5cm Box (when closed)...Side approx. 10cm, Height approx. 10cm This is a traditional craft from Matsumoto, Nagano Prefecture. Beautiful patterns are vividly created with colorful threads. It features a traditional chrysanthemum motif, accented with fine gold threads. When you hold it, it has a very soft texture and feels slightly fluffy, giving a sense of gentleness and warmth. Also, there is something like a bell inside, and it makes a cute rattling sound when you shake it. It comes with a dedicated wooden stand, an outer box, 2 types of bookmarks, and a label with the maker's name (probably attached to the temari). It has been stored in a dark place at home, in the included box. It is likely in unused condition, but due to long-term home storage, the product condition is set to "Like New." - There is a small stain on the temari in one place (product photo 4). - There is discoloration on the box due to sun exposure (product photos 15, 16). - The label on the box has yellowing due to aging (product photos 15-18). Please understand that this is an old item stored at a private residence, and purchase accordingly. Also, please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such issues or if you are seeking a perfect item. For packaging and shipping, we plan to use Rakuraku Mercari delivery, with cushioning to protect against water damage and impact. Thank you very much. #TraditionalCrafts #madeinjapan #Temari #Handball #Celebration #FolkCrafts #Souvenir #Gift #Present #MatsumotoCastle #Antique
