I have purchased this item as a used, but beautiful, piece. I am decluttering due to a move. There are fold wrinkles. There are areas that have rubbed during storage. These areas appear whitish. They are not noticeable from a distance. They will be hidden by the otaiko (the back of the obi). This item has been stored at home. I think it's best for those who are even slightly concerned to refrain from purchasing. Please read my profile. I will ship from Okinawa Prefecture. I will update information regarding delays and delivery due to typhoons as needed. Please consider purchasing after you understand this. Shipping from Okinawa will take longer than usual. Please understand that it may take about a week, even when there is no information about delays.
