I kept it displayed in a dark place. It's a few years old, so there may be some age-related deterioration, but since I haven't handled it much, there are no noticeable scratches or stains. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for something in new condition. I will wrap it in bubble wrap and ship it. If you prefer Mercari shipping, I can accommodate you for an additional 300 yen, so please comment!
