## Description
* * * This listing utilizes an auction support system that can showcase products with large images.

The previous owner referred to it as a military saddle, but I wonder about that.

Please make your judgment based on the photos, and I ask for no claims or returns.

* Please note that bids from those merely wasting time, such as bids of only 1000 yen or showing no genuine buying intention, might be declined.
* After the auction ends, messages like "Thank you" are unnecessary.
* I aim to ship as soon as the payment is made, ideally the same day or the next, but it may be delayed by 1-2 days due to other commitments.
* I do not issue receipts.
* I do not accept shipping methods other than those specified. Continued insistence will result in transaction cancellation.

* After the auction, please provide the delivery address within 24 hours and make payment within 3 days.
* If deadlines are missed, I will process a cancellation without notice.
* There may be early closures or cancellations of the auction, so please understand.
* Depending on ratings, I may cancel bids.
* Bids from new users or those with many negative ratings will be canceled to prevent trouble.
* I will not answer questions that can be understood by reading the description or looking at the photos.

## Collector note
This sturdy red lacquered Japanese saddle showcases traditional craftsmanship that appeals to collectors interested in historical military artifacts. While it has been referred to as a military saddle, further investigation into its specific attributes may be necessary to confirm its provenance. Given the rarity of authentic vintage saddles in the collector market, especially those originating from Japan, this item holds significant appeal, particularly for enthusiasts of samurai history and antique weaponry. The condition noted as used, along with the “sold as-is” policy, may affect its final bidding price, but genuine interest from dedicated collectors could drive competitive offers.
