Hokkaido Ainu Wood Carving Bear, Natural Wood Color, Burned Finish, Showa Retro

Thank you for looking.

This is a classic Salmon-Eating Bear (with a base) featuring a beautiful焼き目 (yakime -焼き目 means burnt finish or seared finish) in a natural wood color, with a charming face.

On the back of the base, there are inscriptions: 1967 and Hokkaido Travel Commemoration, along with what is likely the name of the original owner.

*We have not included a photo of the back of the base as it may contain personal information.

This bear has a very cute face, a beautiful color, and a nice-looking base. It was displayed for a long time on top of the shoe cabinet in the entryway. We are now selling it as part of a home organization effort.

It would be a perfect accent piece for your entryway or Japanese-style room. ^_^

While there may be some age-related wear consistent with its age, it is generally in good condition.

*Please examine the photos to assess the condition and make your purchase only after you are satisfied.

Thank you for your consideration. m(_ _)m
