This Fishing Float washed up on the Pacific Coast. Most likely it dates back to the early 1900s pre-dating glass floats used by Japanese fishermen.
I left the ties and handmade rope attached. This is an "as found" piece. I have not attempted to clean or refurbish it. The kanji might be more visible if rehabilitated.
Wood Size: 12" long.
Rope: At least 12" on either side

Enjoy!
