I used it only once when I first bought it, but I don't like plastic chopsticks, so it's been sitting on the shelf. It's practically unused, with only minor scratches from storage. There are no paint chips, cracks, or fine fissures, which are common with items like this. The condition is good, so how about adding it to your collection? It's made in Japan and well-made, so there's no problem using it now. It's over 20 years old, so I think it's quite rare. The condition is good, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about minor details or are looking for something brand new.
