Thank you for viewing. This is a shell matching game. [Description] Shell matching is a game played by aristocrats in the Heian period. It's similar to the modern game of concentration, where you arrange over 90 seashells and find the matching shells. The inside of the shells are decorated with elegant paintings, such as scenes from the Tale of Genji. It is a symbol of marital harmony and is also used in the Hinamatsuri (Doll Festival) and wedding ceremonies. It has been stored in a case. There are no noticeable scratches or stains.
