Shogi Koma Box, Made in 1993 *This is an unused item, but it has been stored for a long time. *Please consider it a new-old stock item. The wood has aged and darkened. In a good way, it has developed character. *When I dry-wiped the surface, the cloth caught on the wood grain, and there are a few very small areas where the wood has peeled. These are tiny chips that are not noticeable at first glance. Please understand and accept this point. *This Koma box is finished with natural wood, with no coating applied to the surface. It is completely unpainted and has not undergone any urushi (lacquer) finishing. (It has a natural appearance.) ◆This Koma box was made around 1993 by my grandfather, who was a furniture craftsman. The maker's mark "光堂" (Kōdō) is carved on the back of the box. ◆The size is slightly on the smaller side. Therefore, you cannot store the pieces inside the box while they are still in their Koma bag. Please place a thin cloth at the bottom of the box before putting the pieces in. *When wiping the surface of this Koma box, do not use cloths with a raised nap, such as towels! The raised nap will catch on the wood grain and peel the surface. Please wipe with a fabric that does not have a raised nap. In that case, do not use camellia oil or other oils. This can cause stains on the wood or cause the wood to darken and discolor rapidly. ◆※◆※This is an old item. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for an item in perfect condition. We ask for your understanding and acceptance of minor details.※◆※◆ *The item will be shipped via RakuRaku Mercari Bin. It will be carefully packaged, so please rest assured. This is a practically sized Koma box, perfect for everyday use. Thank you for your consideration.
