I'm not entirely sure, but I purchased this quite a while ago and it has been stored unused, wrapped in paper. It's either unused or may have been used once. Given the age and the natural materials, it's difficult to tell from appearance, but I believe it's a beautiful item. I have several others, which I have already listed and sold. This is the last one. ◆ Wooden Ladle (O-chashaku) for Tea Ceremony / Furo (portable tea ceremony brazier) ◆ Diameter of the joint: 5cm / Bottom: 5.5cm ◆ Handle length: 35.5cm ◆ Bamboo As I can't find the original box, I will create a box shape using thick paper (cardboard, etc.), wrap it in bubble wrap for cushioning, and package it securely to be waterproof. -------------------- ◆ Anonymous shipping ◆ No smoking / No pets ◆ Immediate purchase or purchase after commenting is OK. ◆ Shipping will be within 2-3 days, but may be 1-2 days depending on the situation.
