Wooden bear figurine. Signed "Seiho" (清峰). A classic and most popular motif of Hokkaido folk art, depicting a bear with a salmon in its mouth. This piece is heavy and has a substantial feel. The powerful, hand-carved construction clearly shows the chisel marks, and the fur is rendered in fine detail. The bear's facial expression is realistic and lifelike. Showa retro Hokkaido folk art. There is some discoloration and minor scratches due to age, but there are no major chips or cracks, and the overall condition is good. I think this is a collector's item with a strong presence, perfect for a folk house, Japanese modern, folk art interior, or vintage decor.
