This item has been stored at home for a considerable period.
It was in a plastic bag that had come open, with the tape peeling off (and further protected by an additional simple plastic bag).

As it is quite old, there are scratches and dent-like scratches, such as from embossing, but overall, I personally think it's in relatively good condition.

Although unused, it appears the first 2-3 pages from the cover were turned in the past, resulting in slight creases (the fold line when you open the page) (the linear crease above the name in photo 6).

There is a slight smell, like incense or a cedar chest.

The photos were taken under lighting, so the actual item is probably closest to photo 1.

There are occasional marks like the dirt shown in photo 17.
I'm not knowledgeable about fabrics, so I'm unsure what it is. m(_ _)m

There are various other issues due to its age, so please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive.

Apologies if cat hair has gotten mixed in. m(_ _)m
