Woodblock Print Stuffed Bird - Sparrow

$ 19.00
/

The rustic and charming sparrow (suzume) 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 expertly shaped and printed creature to life.

The stuffed sparrows are decorated with flowers. A red tag on the string says "hana (flower) suzume" 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.
