I am selling this item, which I found while cleaning out my parents' house. It appears to be a tsuge comb, and it seems to be a good comb for combing hair because it is made by soaking it in camellia oil. Please take a good look at the photos to check the condition and size before considering a purchase. There are no chips, and it is sturdy, but there may be some discoloration. I'm not sure if it's okay to wash it, so I've cleaned it with a disinfectant sheet. The flower carving is cute. Thank you.
