This item was purchased over 30 years ago at Takashimaya. I fell in love with it at first sight, even though I wasn't planning to buy anything, because of its beautiful and adorable face and the gorgeous kimono. It has been displayed in a glass case for many years, so the case has many scratches and some areas have been touched up with a black oil-based pen. The backing paper has also aged. The doll itself is in relatively good condition. I have too much stuff and no space, so I'm hoping someone will display it. I will reuse cardboard boxes I have at home for packaging. I cleaned the inside and found some stains on the kimono and discoloration on the backing paper, so I have lowered the price.
