Hello Kitty Netsuke. It was protected by a sheet, but it is quite old, so please consider purchasing only if you understand this. It has been stored at home for a long time, so there is fading of the tag and dirt on the metal parts (photo 3). This item is the Osaka limited "Takoyaki Version". How about it, Kitty fans? (Please take a look as I have other items for sale) Regarding shipping, we will send it by regular mail, so thank you for your understanding.
