An old Japanese keyaki wood tokobashira post, from a traditional tea ceremony room, hand carved accentuating the natural knots in smooth decorative relief. 13 x 14 x 1900. Note: The tokobashira post is noted as a 'Unique or aesthetically appealing wooden pillar which is placed on the left side of the tokonoma. A simple, natural but unique look is always sought in the room.' See photo for traditional tea ceremony room elements.
