About the Item
Here is the revised version. Please translate this into English.
This is a charming antique wooden tool that is believed to have been used as a workbench or chair by Japanese craftsmen around the 20th century.
The cross-section, which shows the tree rings, has traces of a brand mark indicating the name of the place where it was used at the time.
There are also burn marks on the inside, but it is unclear why they are there. The material is Japanese cedar, and the soft yet strong grain that has developed over time brings a natural warmth to the space.
Its simple yet sturdy construction makes it easy to blend into various modern interior styles, and it can be used as an accent in a variety of spaces, including Japanese-style, natural, modern, and industrial. It is recommended as a low table for the living room or study, or as a stool for the entrance or hallway. Simply placing it in a room allows the depth of time and the aesthetic of wabi-sabi inherent in reclaimed wood to enrich the space with a rich expression.
The seat is finished in a gentle arch shape, offering comfort and practicality. A portion of the bottom has been cut to adjust for wobbling, ensuring stability and safe use.
This piece is ideal for those who appreciate the natural texture and charm of aged wood.
The sturdy weight of 11.7 kg is another appealing feature. Its compact size (width 54.5–61 cm, depth 36–40.7 cm, height 22.7–23.2 cm) makes it easy to place even in limited spaces, and its usability is also a key point.
Why not try experiencing the charm of antiques that give off the warmth of old wood in your living space?
This piece with a special presence will surely add a new charm to your life.

[We are a specialized team dealing in antiques and vintage items, comprised of stores based on three distinct brands. While focusing on Japanese items, we also offer a carefully curated selection of attractive goods from around the world—each evoking the culture and history of its country of origin.
Unlike the traditional Japanese antique furniture and art that have been appreciated overseas until now, we shine a light on the tools and furniture that were used for many years in ordinary Japanese homes and farmhouses. These objects have gained a unique charm over time, their beauty deepened by the history accumulated through daily life. In today’s world, however, many of these precious items are discarded during home demolitions. We are committed to reassessing their value and passing them on to future generations.
Drawing from our extensive experience—having seen tens of thousands of items through direct purchases, markets, and auction houses—we carefully select and present only the most captivating pieces. This is something made possible only through the years of knowledge and expertise we have cultivated.
Rather than focusing on the widely known facets of Japanese art and culture, we highlight the subtle beauty born from the everyday life of common people. It is this rediscovered beauty, steeped in history, that we strive to share with the world.]
