I purchased this item because I loved the beauty and shape of the tsume-nuri lacquerware, intending to use it. (Although it has been around for years, it is a good quality item. The box has scratches and some stains due to aging.) I have kept it carefully without ever using it. I am selling it because I will not have the opportunity to use it in the future. Although it is unused, I have opened it for ventilation and wiped it with a dry cloth for maintenance. There are no noticeable scratches, but as I am not a professional, there may be oversights. If you are concerned, please comment before purchasing. I will add more photos. (Includes a bonus of Saruya's black writing brush) Size: Width 16cm Height 11cm Thickness 1cm
