For Sale is a Y's 4 x 5 Field Wooden Camera
Camera is in excellent condition with minimal signs of use.
Y's is a small camera maker little known outside of Japan. Camera is very similar to a Horseman Woodman with the addition of geared focus on the rear standard. Made of cherrywood with a dark brown stain with attractive well machined satin chrome hardware. The well constructed body has a full range of field camera movements, bellows extension from 65mm to 300mm and uses Linhof Technika style lens boards.
The added bonus on this camera is the Graflok back that allows the use of a variety 120 roll film backs. Compact and sturdy, this is a great travel camera that weighs only 3.375 pounds. Comes with four Fidelity Elite 4 x 5 film holders in excellent condition.

I can not open your photos, do not know if the problem is with my laptop but I have never had this happen before.
 
They open fine on my phone. Nice camera!
 
Someone was asking if there were specs on this camera. I haven't found any printed specs from the Y's camera company but is is very similar to the Horseman Woodman 45.
Here are what I gathered from the B&H website:
Base Tilt: Front standard - 20 deg, forward, 30 deg. backward
Rear standard - 25 Deg. forward and backward

Axis Tilt - Front standard only - Forward and back - only limited by the bellows

Swings: Front standard - 10 deg. left and right
Rear standard - 10 deg. left and right

Front standard - Rise and fall - 35mm rise, 25mm fall
Shifts - 10mm left and right

Minimum extension: This will handle a 65mm lens but can actually squeeze in a 55mm wide angle lens as well.
Maximum extension: Stated max is 12 inches but actual maximum extension is 14 inches or 355mm

Actual Weight: 3.35 pounds

Folded dimensions: Height with handle: 7.9 inches
Width: 8 inches
Depth: 3.3 inches

Detents on the front and rear base tilts, and on the front axis tilts.
Front axis tilt is only limited by the bellows. Far more front tilt than you would ever need.

Some photos of the camera in the field and set up in a smaller Tenba Transport Case ready to shoot.
Camera had a 90mm Grandagon lens and a Horseman 6 x 9 Rollfilm back that fit the camera perfectly.
Neither the 90mm lens, the Horseman back or the Tenba Case or tripod are included in the sale,
