Description

This sculpture is a Kibori Kuma (木彫り熊), which translates to "carved wood bear". 12" length x 7" height. Great condition, no broken pieces. Origin: Kibori Kuma are traditional Japanese wood carvings, famously originating from Hokkaido, particularly the towns of Yakumo and Asahikawa. Symbolism: These carvings, often depicting a bear with a salmon in its mouth, are deeply rooted in the culture of the Ainu people, the indigenous inhabitants of Hokkaido, who revere bears as deities. Craftsmanship: The carvings are typically made from a single block of wood, showcasing intricate details and craftsmanship. History: The tradition of bear carving evolved in the early 20th century, with the first Kibori Kuma crafted around the 1920s as souvenirs, blending Ainu influences with new artistic techniques.
