This is a Jizaikagi (adjustable hook) made around the Meiji era. I heard it was made in the northern part of Gifu Prefecture or the Hokuriku region. It is carved from keyaki (Japanese zelkova) wood, and the shape is such that it can be appreciated as an object or a sculptural work with good balance. As it is over 100 years old, please understand that there is some wear and tear. There are clear marks from where a rope was hung, giving it a well-used feel. In the last few photos, I placed a small stick underneath to make it stand on its own. When standing on its own, the height is approximately 39.8 cm, the width is approximately 35 cm, and the depth is approximately 14 cm.
