Although it is a tool for measuring weight, it is imbued with the history of commerce and the lives of people. This intricate balance has been passed down since the Edo period, and it has now become a masterpiece that exudes value as a work of art, going beyond its function as a measuring tool.

Its beautiful, balanced appearance symbolizes harmony and fairness, and since ancient times it has been said that "a fair scale brings prosperity to business and trust."
The intricately crafted brass plates and needlepoints reflect the skill and aesthetic sense of the artisans of the time.

This item does not come with a weight, but there are very few of these in existence, so the value of the rare item itself is highly valued.
Just by displaying it, you can feel the weight of history and good fortune, and it is a masterpiece that you can fully enjoy as an antique.

*As natural wood is used, there may be small scratches and a natural texture inherent to the material. We apologize for any inconvenience, but we ask for your understanding that this is the unique charm of natural materials.

*Shipping costs for this product will be estimated in advance.
