The rustic and charming rabbit 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 rabbit is one of the animals in the Chinese zodiac, and is decorated with three kinds of wild flowers: arnica, Japanese rowan and Japanese mountain rhododendron. On the bottom is a sticker with the maker's name in Japanese. It makes a nice addition to any animal lover's collection.
