Kodama was first pressed on vinyl in 2016. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.
9 pressings came out in 2016, the album's first year. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.

11 vinyl pressings of Kodama are listed here, from 1 country, released between 2016 and 2020.
The earliest pressings are from 2016, in Germany. One of them is Prophecy Productions PRO 190 BOX T, released September 30, 2016.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use PRO 190 BOX T, PRO 190 BOX CB, PRO 190 BOX MB, PRO 190 LP LU) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, BG47157-01 A1 KR and BG47157-01 B1 KR. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
It depends on which pressing you have and on the condition of the record and its sleeve. Early pressings from the album's home country in near mint condition are usually worth the most; common later reissues are worth far less. Scan your copy with VinylLens to see its value for every grade.
