Antique Wooden Hammer called a Tataki, used for pounding straw to make it soft and pliable for use in a variety of traditional applications.
Checkout the video below for an example of how it is used to flatten and soften the straw so that it can be woven into a traditional Mino raincoat.
They are reasonably heavy, made from a single piece of wood. We like to use them as weights, they make great door stops! A true piece of Mingei folk art.
Condition is as shown, with a time worn patina and age cracks adding to the beauty of the piece.
This one measures:
approximately 30cm tall x 13cm wide
