Wooden "A-I-U-E-O" alphabet blocks from Sakai Sangyo, featuring hiragana characters and animal illustrations. I purchased these a long time ago from the co-op, and my child played with them. They have been stored at home since then. The outer box is worn, but the blocks and wooden storage box inside are clean with no stains or chips, and all the blocks are present. My mother bought these blocks when I was a child, and I played with them. I then bought them for my own child, and both my child and I still have fond memories of playing with them. You can learn the pictures and characters, and they are fun as building blocks too. Made in Japan from wood, they are very safe and reliable, and a great toy. I will clean them lightly before sending them. Please understand and accept that these are used items. - Contents: 48 hiragana cards - Material: Wood - Safety Standards: ST Mark certified - Accessories: Storage box - Design: With animal illustrations Thank you for looking.
