This is an antique wooden carved bear from Hokkaido.
With its cute glass eyes, it will create a wonderful atmosphere when displayed in your room.
Due to the wooden carved bear boom that began about 10 years ago, works by artists like Shigeyuki Shibasaki can now exceed 1 million yen, making them unaffordable for the average person.
This piece has a casual style and is recommended as your first wooden carved bear.

The way the toes are carved and the use of the wood indicate it is of the Yakumo style (In Yakumo style, the bear is carved horizontally within the wood. In Asahikawa style, the bear is carved vertically within the wood).
