Hello♪ Thank you for viewing. This is a "katana stand" that my grandfather used to display the "Japanese swords" he collected. I heard it was a very "expensive" item, but... Since I am not very familiar with this type of product, I am putting it up for sale to declutter. Thank you for your consideration. ※ I believe it is "karaki" (hardwood) shitan (rosewood). Also, it is a rare "three-sword stand" with "openwork carving." The size is: Base (width): approx. 41cm ※ Supplementary explanation (from the internet) "Karaki" is a general term for high-quality wood imported from Southeast Asia and other regions. Among them, "shitan (rosewood)" is one of the world's three major fine woods. Rosewood is hard and heavy, and its characteristic is that it produces a beautiful luster when polished. It is used for high-end furniture, Buddhist altars, musical instruments, and Buddhist statues.
