Japanese joinery. This is old wood that was stored in an old folk house built around the late Edo period. It's almost as thick as a main pillar, but I think it was probably a part of a storehouse that used to exist as a normal pillar. The position of the mortise and tenon holes, the way the wood grain rises, which is rarely seen in this type of old wood, everything feels exceptional. It is an art object created by carpentry techniques and a long time, and I think it is an item that exceeds ordinary old wood. It can be used as interior decoration for your room, fixtures and displays for your shop, a stand for accessories, or as a material for furniture and fixtures by processing it. It would be wonderful to use it as is or to add color with stain. Those who like the carpentry techniques of traditional buildings or who have read "Mono-iu Shikuchi - Pieces of Folk Houses Collected in Hakusanroku" will understand the quality of this item. I don't think you can easily get old wood of this level. 【Size】 Approx. 17cm x 16.5cm Length: Approx. 68cm Weight: Approx. 7.7kg 【Condition】 It is very old. There are chips, cracks, and faded areas. It is heavy and sturdy, so there is no problem with use. Please take a look at the photos and consider purchasing it with the understanding that it is old wood. Personally, I think it looks better when used horizontally, but when placed vertically, one side is not cut parallel. If you want to stand it straight, you will need to attach legs or cut it parallel. 【Note】 The vases and other items in the photos are for shooting purposes and are not included.
