Found this at the GW yesterday
19" tall
Thought it would make a beautiful plant stand. (Which I thought it was).
After researching this morning online it's supposedly a Meiji period Japanese satsuma garden seat.
Which I'm no expert only going by some I found online.
I laughed so hard when I sat on it because it's just too small for this American girl.
Definitely not going in the garden! Will be used as a planned.
Yes, it's a garden seat for sure.

LOL Japanese people have smaller bums....
Efesgirl
They must have Itty bitty bums.....lol
I like mine better than the one you mentioned above in the link...
On mine the men are only on the seat part and the women & children on the body.
Jeeeez look how much they are asking for that one!!!! Crazy!!!
Congrats on the find!It might be a kind of investment too :-)
Ivonne thank you ;)
Yes, that will put a big hole in the budget! The men being the central design on the seat area brings up all kinds of thoughts...haha!
What a find Melanie. Gorgeous, and whatever you put on it might be overshadowed!
What a find, and a great investment, as well as beautiful. I agree, and my first thought was, the Japanese ladies must have been very dainty to sit on these! :)
Efesgirl I'm glad someone else was thinking like me...lmao. I was just afraid to go there with the men....Jeeeez I'm laughing so hard.

Thank you
LMAO@/with melaniej!! I guess you were laughing so hard that you posted the same comment twice...bah hahaha! We would have great fun over two cups of coffee...while sitting on our Japanese garden seats...
Ha ha ha, you've got me laughing too! That's so funny. Thanks
