The texture wasn't as smooth as it is shown on the picture. Also, the knitting skill wasn't good. There was a double knitting. The leader was not as geniue as i thought. (See pictures) Actually disappointed. I thought Made in Japan means Quality, but in the case, it is not. I bought it using TENSO service to Overseas, so it will be very costly if return it to Japan. I can only do nothing about it. Regretted.
