【Handling Precautions】
- When storing, gently dust with a soft feather duster and avoid tightly rolling it.
- To prevent mold and insect damage, take it out of the box and dry in the shade on sunny days twice a year, in spring and autumn.
- Avoid hanging it for long periods, as it may impair the original flexibility of the hanging scroll. Also, avoid direct airflow from air conditioning, high humidity indoors, and direct sunlight.
