It's an old item from the Showa era that was kept on a guest board for a long time. It was used not for everyday use, but for gatherings of relatives during the Bon and New Year holidays. 3 plates have no crazing. 2 plates have crazing on both the front and back. The crazing on the front is in the form of parallel lines and is not very noticeable (photo 11), but it is visible on the back (photo 12). This is crazing, not cracks. There are indentations that were likely present from the beginning (photo 13). Also, there is one plate with a stain that cannot be removed (photo 14). Even considering the above, the overall condition is good. The shipping method may be changed from Rakuraku Mercari to Yu-Yu Mercari. Please consider this after understanding the above.
