8+ (Excellent): The book shows mild to moderate wear, nearly all the pages are intact and appear to be free of creases, bends, and tears. The ink remains readable with little bleeding, the tag is in nice condition as is the rice paper insert.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
