【Miyazaki Prefecture Miyakonojo Workshop High-Quality Genuine Red Oak Walking Stick】 You won't be able to find a genuine red oak walking stick anywhere else in Japan. I am the only one who has miraculously obtained a new genuine red oak walking stick. ※ About Genuine Red Oak Compared to the relatively light and flexible Japanese loquat wood, I believe genuine red oak is the best material for practical use, considering the balance of weight, strength, and flexibility. Currently, the red oak walking sticks sold are made of a substitute called Ichii oak. To distinguish it from Ichii oak, genuine red oak is called "genuine red oak" or "red genuine oak." Currently, genuine red oak logs are extremely rare, and since a certain length of lumber is required to make a walking stick, it is impossible to obtain a genuine red oak walking stick. Genuine red oak walking sticks are not sold in any stores, and I don't think they accept orders either. This item is only listed on Mercari.

(Only some photos are posted because the images are being misused) This item is made by a traditional craftsman in a workshop in Miyakonojo City, Miyazaki Prefecture.

(High-quality genuine red oak) Usually, walking sticks are made of white oak or Ichii oak, but I can confidently say that a genuine red oak walking stick is the best choice for those looking for a "special walking stick" that is different from others. For reference, I have included a photo comparing it with a general red oak (Ichii oak), so please see the difference. I have previously listed only two items, including a non-sale item, and this is the last one, so the price is set higher than before. ・Length: Approximately 128cm, Thickness: 8.5 bu (approximately 26cm) (Slight variations may occur), with no bending and excellent balance. ・The walking stick itself has not been touched because it is covered with shrink film. ・Recently, malicious businesses have been increasing who are cutting and pasting images and text from Mercari and Yahoo Auctions and posting them on fraudulent sites.
