About the Item

Introduce interesting items. This was once used as a workbench in Japan. It's shaped like a penis, but one side of the tip has a mark that looks like it was hit and is slightly scraped. It was probably a tool that was used to make something. I don't know the details. In addition, the characters written "Minamoto sirusi" are engraved on the side. This is probably the name of the atelier. The material is zelkova. It is very hard and is often used as a workbench. The grain and color are nice. This is a rare item. it's recommended. Weight: 8.95kg.
