Japanese antique wooden stool/1868-1920/farmer's tools/"Kurakake"

About the Item

This is an old Japanese wooden stand. It was originally used as a stand for holding a horse saddle. The name of the tool is "Kurakake". The saddle was likely used on horses kept for agricultural work. The design is simple, with the top made of cedar wood. The legs are crafted by splitting branches in half and inserting them into the top board. Since branches are used, the natural texture of the wood is preserved, resulting in an appealing and rustic design. This item can also be used as a stool and has been tested to support up to 60 kg without issue. However, the structure is not particularly strong in terms of load-bearing capacity, so please do not sit on it roughly. Also, if you are heavy, please sit on it carefully. It can also be utilized as a display stand. Moreover, its charming design makes it a decorative object that can enhance the atmosphere of any space simply by being placed as is. This is a rare and valuable item that offers a glimpse into a historical aspect of Japan. As many old houses and farmhouses have already disappeared in modern times, it has become increasingly difficult to acquire such items. Why not bring this piece of Japanese heritage into your home as a tool worth preserving for future generations? Size:w443cm d26cm (Seat part 13㎝) h43cm Weight: 1.85 kg
