This is for women. The prayer beads have been used a few times. There are no noticeable scratches. They are light and easy to use. The sutra book has been used quite a bit. Please check the photos. The 10th photo will be included as a bonus. It was used to store the prayer beads and sutra book. I was thinking of throwing it away because it's so worn out, so it has a lot more signs of use than you can see in the photos. It can be used for temporary storage, I suppose... Thank you for your understanding.
