This is a traditional Japanese tea ceremony shelf known as Gogyo-tana (δΊθ‘ζ£). It features a classic design used in Chanoyu to display various tea utensils. This is an assembly-type (knockdown) shelf that can be taken apart for storage.
While there are visible signs of age such as scratches, stains (shimi), minor dents, and scuffs, the main structure remains solid. It is in perfectly usable condition for daily practice (O-keiko).
Please note that as an assembly-type vintage tea shelf, it has a significant wobble. Due to the historical nature of this item, it may have antique characteristics such as minor discoloration, usage wear, and small scratches that are difficult to describe fully in text. Please review the photos carefully and purchase with a full understanding of its vintage condition and wobble.
