Additional Information: Unused. The blade is rusty, but it does not affect the function. I have only seen one of Yukichika's Dainaoshi plane so far, at an exhibition at the Takenaka Museum, from the collection of the Tsuchida store. This one is from the collection of Suiheiya store and I was lucky enough to get it.

The Dainaoshi plane by Yukichika is different from the common daiya's plane.

1: Using the Tsutsumi-kuchi structure, the opening at the bottom of the wooden body is narrow.

2: The volume for accommodating cutting chips is larger than that of common Dainaoshi planes.
