Purchased last year from here, this item was originally bought at a Kyoto exhibition for 20,000 yen and has been stored long-term in new condition. I bought it to let my child experience the real thing, but I'm selling it because it's not being used. The tag and wrapping paper have been removed. Although it hasn't been played with, it has been handled. It comes in a paulownia wood box with paper money made of washi paper. Even to the untrained eye, the thickness and texture are of good quality. The subdued vermilion color is in good condition. The ribbon on the paulownia wood box is wrinkled. The washi paper on the outer box shows some fuzzing. Why not enjoy it during the New Year's holiday season? Please feel free to ask if you have any questions.
