Old kinuta (a wooden tool for beating cloth), a tool for pounding straw. In my area, it's called a yokozuchi (horizontal mallet). In the old days, every farmhouse had one or two. They were handmade. Nowadays, hardly anyone pounds straw, but it's useful for driving in stakes, etc. The wide striking surface makes it easy to hit, and the weight is just right. It's well-used. For garden decoration. You could also attach sekkoku (a type of orchid) or other orchids. For those who appreciate it. - Material: Wood - Type: Wooden mallet - Design: Flat striking surface - Handle type: Straight handle Thank you for looking.
