I purchased this item new and opened the package, but the main body is unused. The case has scratches, but this does not affect the item itself. I bought this, knowing that Japanese-made products last longer than cheaper foreign-made ones, but I haven't used it, so I'm putting it up for sale. I hope this will be useful to you. Please note that this item is also listed on other platforms, so I apologize if it sells out. - Brand: Chikumeido - Type: Chasen (tea whisk) - Material: Bamboo - Number of tines: 80 - Purpose: Whisking matcha - Packaging: Comes in a clear case Thank you for looking.
