✺ As this is made of Japanese paper, there are about 2 spots where the color has slightly changed or small holes have appeared due to age.

✺ The tip of the umbrella shows some signs of wear.

✺ Although it has aged, I believe it can still be used sufficiently.

✺ How about for practicing your dance?

✺ I am listing this item hoping someone can use it.

◆ Immediate purchase is OK!!!

✺ Please only purchase if you understand that this has been stored at home for some time.
