This item is unused, but has been stored in a regular household closet. Note: One of the tassel's plastic covers is missing. I will temporarily cover it before shipping (see image 9). It does not come with a box, and will be shipped in a bag via post, so it is an unused item. This product is currently sold on Rakuten Ichiba (Japan's equivalent of Amazon) for 7920 yen, so if you want a perfect new item, please purchase it there. I have included images 2 and 3 for reference, showing the product I purchased and its description. Here are the notes from the Rakuten Ichiba listing for the same product. Please review them. ↓ Remarks ※ Due to the manufacturing process, there may be small dents on the decorative beads or loose threads on the obi cord. Please note that this is not a product defect. You can fix loose threads by trimming them at the base with thread scissors. ※ There may be some slight stains on the decorative parts due to the manufacturing process. Please understand. ※ The color of the cord may differ from the image depending on the arrival time. ※ It will be packaged in a plastic bag instead of a box. ↑ The above remarks are the original precautions for this product on Rakuten Ichiba, and I'm addressing how they apply to the item I'm selling. Indeed, if you look closely, you might find some loose threads or slight imperfections, but I think they are barely noticeable unless you are looking for them. Please understand that this is the nature of the product. I have taken as many pictures as possible, so please use them as a reference.
