Description
Japanese finely carved model of a bear from Hokkaido.
Kibori kuma is a Japanese rural craft that consists of a wooden carving of a bear with a fish in its mouth.
The sculptures are mainly produced in Hokkaido; small carvings are sold as souvenirs of the island.
The most common design depicts a brown bear biting a chum salmon, and the sculptor portrays the bear's thick bristles by using an axe. However, many variations of the kibori kuma have evolved.
Circa 1960.
