Description

A beautifully carved Japanese wooden bear group, depicting two bears interacting on a rugged, naturalistic base. The dark, polished timber has a rich warmth, and the composition displays wonderfully from every angle. A striking and characterful example of Japanese bear carving,
with finely worked fur, expressive faces, and deep chisel marks that highlight the sculptor’s skill.
The carving carries two Japanese inscriptions: one dated 27 June 1968 with the name Ushiba Eiichi, and another reading “山中作” (Made by Yamanaka). These marks provide excellent provenance and firmly place the carving within mid‑20th‑century Japanese craft traditions.

Here at Sinclair's Antiques and Interiors we do our utmost best to ensure all our items are described and photographed to show any flaws or damage such as shrinkage splits, losses or lifts to veneer, repairs or marks. However, giving the age and the fact that each piece will have had years of polishing to create its own individual character we cannot describe every minor mark separately and therefore recommend you either visit our warehouse or request extra photographs.
