The Hyakunin Isshu box appears to be made of something like plastic. The knot in the green string is different from the first photo because it was untied for the photoshoot. Shipping will be on weekends. It will be shipped in simple packaging with bubble wrap. I will leave a comment when I ship. No comments are needed after purchase.
