I've been using it for a month. The color is navy. There's no feeling of use, but there is some scuffing on the corners as shown in the photos. It's not noticeable at all when you look at it. It's the kind of thing you'd only find if you looked closely. However, since I've used it for a month, I'm selling it at a lower price. The original price was nearly 100,000 yen, but as expected of Tsuchiya Kaban, it has a simple and very beautiful form, and I felt the price was reasonable. Perfect for new first graders!
