What if you built a tonogodhime stack but put the base logs on blocks to keep them off wet ground? Seems
like it’d help with rot. Any downside?
Traditional tonogodhime sits directly on the ground. The base settling into soil is part of why it’s stable.
When you elevate, the stack can slide, dry out weirdly, and the moisture pattern changes a lot.
If your ground is truly soggy, I’d change the site before I’d put tonogodhime on blocks. Pick a spot with
drainage and clear leaf mats. Elevation fixes one problem and creates three others.
