There is some minor wear and tear from normal use, but it has only been used twice, so there are no noticeable scratches or stains. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to this. It has a jewel-like decoration in the middle, so it is also recommended for women. Pink carbon is also available. Shipping will be via regular mail (bubble wrap & envelope). For anonymous shipping, it will be via Yu-Pack (bubble wrap & cardboard box), which will be an additional 500 yen. Please comment if you wish to use this option.
