This is a ceremonial meal set purchased at Meiji Jingu about 4 years ago. It was used once and has been stored at home. To the best of my knowledge, there are no signs of use or scratches. The chopsticks have never been used. The set will be wrapped in a plastic bag and shipped in a cardboard box (used only once). Lacquerware, ceremonial meal, Japanese tableware, miniature, Meiji Jingu
