The tag has been removed. Based on my research, I believe it was released in 2008. It was displayed in a glass-doored display case for a while. After that, I lightly hand-washed it once and stored it in a bag. I think I was able to wash and store it well, but you may be able to faintly smell the detergent. If you are concerned, please refrain from purchasing. ❤ Small Korilakkuma The ball chain was not attached, so I attached a new one. Photo 10: The overlapping part of the yukata is attached with adhesive, but the adhesive seems to have discolored slightly due to age. The back of the obi (sash) tends to come loose. It is held in place at the front, so it won't fall off, but you may want to secure it with adhesive. Although it has been years, I think it is in good condition. Please understand that this is an item that has been in someone's possession and stored for a long time before purchasing.
