Located in Sammu-shi, Chiba
This seems to be part of the old building materials of Japan.
The material is zelkova wood.
It is believed to have been made in the early 20th century.
Keyaki is known as a high-grade wood that is extremely hard, durable, and has a very beautiful grain.
It is also used as a building material, and is used in shrines, temples, and wealthy houses.
This simple pillar has a very beautiful wood grain and a very heavy feeling. If you stand it up, it will become a display stand, and if you lay it down, you can use it as a low table or bench.
The variety of ways you can use it because it is a simple rectangle is attractive.
Also, as shown in the photo, the surface is slightly uneven, and there is a slight rattle when the pillar is used upright...
