There is a feeling of use, and some fading is visible. Upon checking the item, I didn't find any noticeable scratches or stains other than the above, but please judge the condition based on the photos of the actual item. The size is 3. Please feel free to ask if you have any questions! Please refrain from purchasing if you are nervous about buying a used item. I am also selling other obi (sashes), so if you purchase multiple items, I will offer a small discount, so please feel free to inquire! I will ship via Mercari delivery service.
