On offer is a beautifully carved hardwood bear figure holding a fish in its mouth, displaying the rounded form and textured fur commonly associated with the Kibori Kuma style. This type of carving became widely recognised in Japan from the early 20th century, particularly in Hokkaido, where artisans drew inspiration from Ainu regional woodcraft traditions. The piece shows careful hand-carving to the head and legs, with a smooth, polished body that contrasts attractively with the textured detailing.

A fine example of a hardwood bear carving in the Kibori Kuma tradition, offering strong character and skilled craftsmanship.
