Thank you for looking. This karuta was kept as merchandise in a corner of the shop run by my parents' home. I believe it is about 40 years old. The karuta is wrapped in plastic and appears to be in clean condition with no dirt. If requested, I can inspect it. The box has dirt, tears, and worn corners. Please check the images. This is a new, unused item, but it is an antique. I appreciate your understanding. m(__)m
