I was only using one of the five plates (the one with the butterbur and butterflies). The other four were stored in their original plastic wrapping. Some of the gold maki-e seals are peeling off. I have stored these at home. There may be scratches or stains. The box is quite old. Please purchase only if you understand that these have been stored at home for a long time. If you would like cushioning material or tracking, the price will change, so please consult with me beforehand. If you have any questions, please ask in the comments section (*^*)
