This item was purchased by my family quite a while ago. The box and instruction manual show signs of aging, such as discoloration and stains, but I believe the item itself is in beautiful condition. How about using it as a Year of the Horse object? Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about minor details, as this item has been stored at home for a long time. ★ I have one cat. ★ There are no smokers in the household. #Miharu-goma #Hikoji Mingei #Folkcraft #YearOfTheHorse #WhiteHorse #Longevity
