Description


This is an Vintage Japanese "shakujo" (monk's staff), a traditional esoteric Buddhist ritual implement used by monks and pilgrims. The staff produces a rattling sound intended to warn small creatures to move aside, thereby avoiding accidental harm, and is also widely used in chanting and spiritual rituals.

The implement features a cast metal finial (likely brass or bronze) with a central shaft and six loose rings (yukan). It is securely mounted on a smooth, rounded wooden handle. The metal surface has developed a warm, natural patina over time with minor spots of oxidation. 

Size:
Height: 25.2 cm / 9.92 in
Width: 5.0 cm / 1.97 in
Weight: 168 g / 0.37 lbs

Condition:
The item shows clear signs of aging, surface wear, and historical use. **Please note:** There is a visible, historical repair mark (adhesive residue/filler) on the wooden handle near the metal joint. The metal components exhibit natural oxidation and minor scuffs. 

Please check the photos carefully for details.
