Ainu Bear with Salmon | Japanese Vintage
This vintage wooden carving depicts a bear carrying a salmon in its mouth, a motif closely tied to Hokkaidō folk craft. With bold knife marks and a deep blackened finish, the carving emphasizes strength and movement while highlighting the raw character of the wood.
Bear carvings became a symbol of Hokkaidō in the early 20th century, reflecting both the natural landscape and the influence of Ainu culture. This piece carries that heritage in a compact form, making it an evocative object to display on a shelf, desk, or entryway table.
