Wood carving from Hokkaido
Wooden carved bear
It is said to have originated in Switzerland, and it developed as an industry in Hokkaido in the past, and continues to this day.
It is now beginning to be appreciated as a work of art, and works by famous artists can be traded for several million yen.
Since it was made as a souvenir, most of them are small, but this one is on the larger side.
It looks very cute as if it is sitting and eating.
There are scratches, scuffs, insect bites, and some cracks in places.
