What it is: An Instagram story by @waku_nagiso (Guesthouse Waku, Nagiso, Nagano), captured 2026-06-15. Shows tableware, trays, lacquerware, and small carved figures salvaged from vacant houses (akiya) in Nagiso, arranged in the guesthouse.
Caption (verbatim, English in source): "Most of the plates and trays we use at Waku come from old vacant houses in Nagiso. We're happy to give them a new life. 🌿"
Why kept: A real-world precedent for the Found Object practice (salvaged objects creating real value). Cited in FoundationWiki/Found_Object.md (Precedents in the wild). Xavaar stayed at the guesthouse, 2026-06.
