Thank you very much for visiting Mercari. This item is a collection of an Edo period (around 200-250 years ago, mid-Edo period) keyaki (Japanese zelkova) well pulley, used for a senryobako (a box for transporting gold coins). It is approximately 55 cm in length and weighs over 6 kilograms. This item was removed when filling in a well over 15 meters deep within the territory of the Awa Tokushima clan, the Hachisuka family, who held 257,000 koku (a unit of measurement for rice). I received this item from a friend's old family treasure, a highly sought-after piece. The appearance of the old iron fittings and the overall look give a deep sense of historical background. I would like to offer this Edo period wooden well pulley, a collection piece from the mid-Edo period, to those who are interested in such items, including overseas collectors who occasionally purchase them. I hope you will display it as a historical decorative object, like an oni-gawara (demon-faced roof tile). Please be careful as there are many people who are illegally reposting other people's items and making fictitious listings, as well as fraudulent sites on Mercari!!
