Worn once and home-cleaned. The color is closest to the first page. It's a clear, refreshing light pink-purple base. The photos inevitably look yellowish. I couldn't find any scratches or stains, but there's a pink line from the sewing chalk? that was originally there, hidden by the obi. It's in the center of the first page. There are also some slight fold wrinkles, but they can be removed with a steam iron (or a spray bottle is fine), and they're not noticeable when worn. Every time you sweat, you can wash it in the washing machine by folding it into a laundry net. Ironing is not necessary after it dries. I will fold it small and compactly for shipping.
