No returns or discounts. This is an unused item, a gift. Since it's a gift, I've listed it as "like new." I didn't know what Kumea wood was, so I contacted Edo-ya, and they looked into it for me. Apparently, it was sold at events several years ago. Kumea wood is currently rare and difficult to obtain, and they don't carry it. Box and instruction manual included. Please refer to the large images that show the condition of the bristles.
