Received as a gift. I opened it to take photos, but it's new and unused. Perfect for things like sweet red bean soup in the coming season! ^_^ Previously, although it was new, I received feedback that it might not be considered new because I wiped off some dirt that had accumulated from long-term storage. Therefore, I've left it as is. It's new and unused, but please be aware that there may be some dust from long-term home storage. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. Of course, it's not a problem if you wash it! (If you would like me to clean it before shipping, please let me know.) I will pack it securely and ship it in the original box.
