Taishogoto Kinden-ryu Momiji, comes with a hard case. As shown in the photos, there are no major noticeable scratches or stains, but as this is a used item from a previous era, there are some minor scratches and scuffs from use. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such imperfections. I do not have expert knowledge and cannot answer detailed questions. I will only sell to those who can make a judgment based on the photos. All accessories are included in the photos. The hard case has scratches and signs of aging, so please only purchase if you accept the item as it is in its current used condition.
