Thank you for viewing. There are signs of yellowing on the spine where the obi (paper band) is believed to have been. The main body of the book does not show any noticeable yellowing or stains, but as this is an old item, please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a perfect condition copy. I also have other related Shinsengumi goods and books for sale. Please take a look. → #ShinsengumiRelatedList_chi Thank you.
