Vintage Japanese Ainu hand-carved wooden bear with a salmon. This type of folk art, known as Kibori Kuma, originates from the indigenous Ainu people of Hokkaido, Japan.
The carvings are traditionally made from a single block of wood in the ichiboku style.
The bear holds significant religious importance to the Ainu people.
The art form was inspired by Swiss folk crafts and introduced to Hokkaido in the 1920s as a way for local farmers to supplement their livelihood.
The intricate details, such as the fur texture, are characteristic of the traditional craftsmanship.
