This item was received through the Hometown Tax program. It is currently unavailable for purchase. (Otari Village, Nagano Prefecture) I like it so much that I can't bring myself to use it, so I'm listing it while it's still in good condition. Although it is new and unused, there is one black mark (see photo 6). Due to the nature of the rubber, it has become slightly whitish, so please be aware of this before purchasing.
