I believe this item is difficult to obtain. Furthermore, being a new, unused item makes it quite rare. Although it is unused, it has been stored at home for approximately 25 years, so I have selected "Near Mint" for the condition of the item. Please check the images. You can see some discoloration on the blue parts due to aging, but it's in the center (where the hole is made to pass the Saruo), so it probably won't be noticeable when actually used. Also, there are wrinkles on the back. Perhaps the adhesive or glue of the pattern inside the lining is peeling off. Overall, I also think the finishing is not very well done. Nowadays, the production and commercial level of Sanshin Doumaki (Tiger) has improved through accurate measurements, sewing machines, improved sewing techniques, design, leather, genuine leather, Minsa weaving materials, and careful and delicate work, resulting in wonderful products. However, about 30 years ago in Okinawa, it was still in its early stages, and I feel it was still in the realm of "te-ge-e" work (roughly 80%, not very meticulous work). This is the condition of the item. Since I am an amateur, there may be other oversights. To prevent trouble, please purchase after you are satisfied. Returns are not accepted. When packaging for shipping, this product may be folded, rolled, etc. Please be aware of this beforehand. If you understand and agree to the above, please consider this item if you are someone who has been "waiting for this item," or "looking for this item," or "planning to utilize the embroidered front surface for recovery," or a collector, or anyone interested. #Okinawan Folk Songs #Ryukyu Folk Songs #Noborikawa #Sanshin
