I believe I received this in Aomori. My child played with it and wrote inside the mouthpiece with a pencil. Please see the fourth photo for confirmation. When I received it (probably two years ago), I tried to play it briefly but stopped immediately. I wasn't sure if I could wash it, so it's been left as is.
