The lacquer surface shows general surface wear, including fine scratches, rubbing, and scattered abrasions, particularly along edges and raised areas. There is light loss and thinning to the gilt decoration, most noticeable in the darker lower panel, but the scenes remain clear and legible. Minor edge wear and small nicks are present. The structure appears sound and intact, with no cracks or repairs observed. The back shows expected wear and scuffing from age and rubbing. less
