Kumon NEW Hiragana Blocks Hardly used. The case has scratches and dents as it was left out. The blocks themselves are in very good condition. The outer box and instruction manual were stored separately and are clean. The "A, I, U, E, O" chart is not included. Although it's in near-new condition, it's not brand new! Please check the photos to confirm the condition and purchase only if you are satisfied. If you are concerned, please purchase a new item. It will be wrapped in bubble wrap and a shipping label will be attached directly, so please be aware of this.
