At first glance it may seem like the jikusaki (roller ends) are missing, - but they are not. If you look closely, you will see that the short ends are covered with a decorative silk, -this was an artistic choice on the part of the mounting artisan. Fair-good normal condition (many small damages that do not detract from enjoying the artwork).
