Made from heavy, natural wood, it combines practicality and decorative appeal, allowing for the display of multiple swords (such as tachi and wakizashi) at staggered levels. Product Details Structure and Design: Multi-tiered: The wavy cutouts on the sides allow for the stable display of up to three swords. Back Panel Design: The back panel features traditional carvings such as "inome" (boar's eye) and "sukashibori" (openwork carving), creating a design that exudes elegance within its ruggedness. Material and Texture: Natural Wood: Made from durable wood with beautiful grain that gains character with age. Antique Finish: The patina and wear from aging give it a unique antique or vintage feel. Uses: Ideal for displaying real swords, replicas, wooden swords, etc. Furthermore, its unique shape makes it suitable for use as a modern interior accent, such as for displaying fishing rods or antiques. Condition and Handling While the structure appears solid based on the images, there are minor scratches and color variations characteristic of older items. These can be appreciated as part of the vintage charm. Because it is made of natural wood, avoiding extreme dryness and humidity will help maintain its good condition for longer. 36*25*19cm 1240g (J1713)
