I bought this in Hiroshima and have kept it at home⭐︎ It's unused, but it was kept in a room where I burn incense, so it has a "incense smell." I'm sensitive to smells, so I might be overthinking it... I think the smell will come out if you wash it, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. I plan to fold it and ship it via Takkyubin Compact or Yu-packet Plus. For those who understand that this is a used item (^-^)
