On offer is a Japanese hand carved bear okimono, finely carved from a pale natural nut material and finished with a smooth polished surface. The miniature sculpture depicts a seated bear in a simple, naturalistic pose with inset black eyes and carries a red seal signature to the underside.

Unlike a netsuke, this piece was produced as an okimono, a small decorative carving intended for display rather than practical use. Japanese okimono became highly regarded during the Meiji period and throughout the twentieth century, showcasing the skill of Japanese craftsmen in creating detailed miniature sculptures from ivory, wood, nut and other natural materials.

The carving is in good condition and measures approximately 2 inches long and 1 inch high. A charming signed Japanese carved bear okimono that would make an attractive addition to any collection of Japanese decorative art.
