This is a set for easily making train-shaped rice balls. I think I've used it about 10 times, and otherwise, it's been stored in its case. The mat for cutting seaweed hasn't been used much, so it has very few scratches. There are no chips or major scratches. There is some dirt on the instruction side of the backing card (see photo 7). This is on the outside. Please understand that this is a used item.
