I have washed and stored it in a well-ventilated place, but as you can see in the photos, there are scratches and stains. Also, since it has been used, it has a smell of nukazuke (fermented rice bran). If you are concerned, please purchase a new one. ---Excerpt from the product description on the website--- This tub, which utilizes the water-absorbing properties of cedar, eliminates the need for "water removal," a common problem with nukazuke. It also has excellent insulation and cold retention, allowing it to be used at room temperature throughout the year. In addition, it has a depth that prevents spills when mixing. Made by hollowing out a single piece of cedar wood that has grown for over 70 years without any joints, you can enjoy the scent of cedar and its beautiful annual rings. Also, because it absorbs moisture released from vegetables to a moderate degree, there is no need for troublesome moisture adjustment in nukazuke. A cedar tub that does not require water removal. If used with care, it is said to last a lifetime.
