Very Large Vintage Japanese Ainu Hokkai Bear Carved Wood Sculpture
Located in Forney, TX
A rare large and most impressive rustic midcentury Japanese Ainu hand carved Ussuri Brown Bear sculpture.
Indigenous Ainu Peoples, probably Ashikawa, Hokkaido, Japan's northernmost island, mid-20th century, anonymous artist.
This exceptional example of traditional Kibori Kuma (木彫り熊) was finely hand carved, chiseled, sculpted and painted from a massive block of solid Japanese hardwood, using old primitive techniques with customized knives and chisels, the artisan would sit on the hut floor, using their feet as a vice to hold the block of wood, carefully manipulating and turning, wood chips flying, skillfully carving to create this beautiful piece of art!
This massive scale realistic rendering showcases the artisan's exemplary skills, workmanship, and artistry, the bears aggressive naturalistic appearance comes to life, evoking power, strength, and natural bounty, lending to its fierce dramatic presence.
Modeled as a wild Ussuri brown bear standing on four legs, head slightly tilted up as if about to expel a ferocious roaring growl, having inset black glass eyes, mouth agape with jagged teeth exposed, the bold muscular body with distinct richly textured chip-carved fur, this sculpture captures the essence of Ainu reverence for nature, this sacred animal, and their deep connection to the land. No apparent signatures, typical of folk art work.
- DIMENSIONS: (approx)
19.5" Wide x 11.375" Tall x 13.25" Deep;
Wight: 18.75lbs
- HISTORY / BACKGROUND:
The Ainu are an aboriginal hunter/gatherer/fisher people who once inhabited many of the islands that bound the southern half of the Sea of Okhotsk north of the main Japanese island of Honshu and Southern Russia.
Their land was contested by the Japanese Empire and the USSR for centuries, with the Meiji era Japan colonisation of Hokkaido taking place in the 19th century.
Colonisation dispossessed the native Ainu people of their lands and property. Widespread discrimination enforced against them, including their forced relocation into mountain areas and the prohibition of the use of the Ainu language decimated their economy with the eventual aim of the extinction of Ainu culture and its replacement by Yamato Japanese culture.
The history of the Ainu bear...

Early 1900s Art Nouveau Style Gentleman’s Shaving Grooming Stand, Tilting Mirror
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Condition: Original Vintage Condition
Materials: Tiger Oak, Original Mirror, Brass Pulls
Style: French Art Nouveau
This early 1900s Art Nouveau–style gentleman’s shaving stand captures the charm of old-world daily rituals, when grooming was a slow, intentional moment built into the rhythm of the morning. Crafted in the United States from richly figured tiger oak, it features its original tilting mirror mounted on a cast-metal arm, allowing a man to angle the glass perfectly in natural light before indoor bathrooms were common. The upper drawers and lower shelves once held razors, brushes, soaps, and water bowls, reflecting a time when personal care stations were elegant pieces of furniture rather than fixtures attached to walls. Brass pulls and soft Art Nouveau curves give the stand a refined presence, blending beauty with the practical craftsmanship that defined early 20th-century life. It remains in original vintage condition, carrying with it the warm patina and nostalgic character of a bygone era.
Fun Historical Fact: Before the rise of modern plumbing, grooming stands like this acted as a personal “bathroom corner,” offering a dedicated space for shaving, washing, and preparing for the day. The adjustable mirror was a luxury innovation, allowing men to catch the best light from nearby windows for a safer and closer shave. Tiger oak furniture...
