I can never resist these vintage Japan illustrations of big-eyed girls!
I believe this one is a ballerina illustration by Yukiko Tani and it's a Slate Magic paper toy that was popular in the 1970s and 1980s. I'm not really sure how these work but when you open the mini folder/card, there's a tracing paper and what looks like a carbon paper for you to draw and "copy" something (before Xerox came along).
This is a brand new unused paper toy but as it is very vintage, please expect signs of wear and tear including discolouration, yellowing, creases, dirt marks and so on. Please look at all photos carefully.
Measures about 13cm by 9cm when closed.
