And we introduce the unique items that only we can do, the route of purchasing in Japan, the experience value so far, and the way that no one can imitate. It is a wooden bench around 1912-1950 in the Showa period in Japan. It is made of chestnut and is solid. The diagonal reinforcement is made of cedar. Since it is old, the seat surface has a warp of wood. It is very cool because you can clearly see the grain of chestnuts. It is a simple but very atmospheric Japanese antique bench...
