Description

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.

A warm and characterful vintage Japanese carving with timeless rustic charm.

As part of our mission to preserve and share Japanese craftsmanship, we offer antiques that were made not just to be admired, but to be used. These pieces were crafted for everyday life, and we honor their purpose by ensuring they can continue to be enjoyed and lived with today.

We use professional studio lighting to highlight the natural character of the wood. As a result, the tone may appear slightly warmer than under natural daylight.

All vintage and antique items are sold as-is. Each piece may exhibit signs of age, including scratches, wear, or minor imperfections. These are not considered defects but natural evidence of the item’s authenticity and age.
