This is a divination tool for the art of "Dan'eki" (fortune-telling by interpreting the hexagrams). I purchased it from Kamo Bookstore. It's not the plain white wood type, but one that's been painted brown. I think it's more beautiful that way, and it gains character with each use. I'm also including a set of dice created with a 3D printer. These are not from Kamo Bookstore. I've been using it for about two years, and there are a few small scratches on the surface of the box, but there are no scratches that would interfere with its use.
