Vintage Japanese Bear Figurine, 1980s, Showa Era (SKU 25D-169)
Showa-era folk carving with rich hand-tooled fur and a salmon catch
This charming Japanese bear figurine is carved in a lively, traditional style, showing the animal striding forward with a salmon held securely in its mouth. The deeply cut fur, glossy dark finish, and expressive face give the piece strong presence and rustic appeal.
A distinctive example of Showa-era decor, it reflects the enduring popularity of bear carvings in Japanese folk art and Hokkaido-inspired wood sculpture. The contrast between the dark body and the warm-toned fish adds visual interest and makes it an attractive display piece for collectors of vintage Japanese carving.
