Woodblock Print Stuffed Bird - Varied Tit

$ 19.00
/

 

The rustic and charming varied tit (yamagara) is printed on cotton using a woodblock and stuffed with rice husks. The rice husks give the perfect amount of volume and firmness to bring the life-sized, expertly shaped and printed creature to life.

Yamagara birds were once trained to draw fortune telling slips at Japanese shrines. A red tag on the string says yamagara on one side and "hand printed woodblock by Shinkougei" on the other. It gives a nice accent to any bird lover's room; it also works as a Christmas tree ornament.
