These cute handcrafted PolePole wooden animals have been a part of Japanese culture for many years.
Hand crafted in Japan from soft white Albiza wood (fast-growing and eco-sustainable) these sweet and tactile characters are the definition of cuteness.
The name PolePole pronounced "poh-leh poh-leh" comes from the Swahili words meaning "slowly, slowly" which is a direct reference to the carefully and slowly hand carved nature of each animal. Due to their lovingly crafted nature, each PolePole animal is slightly different with each unique expression thoughtfully hand finished and hand painted by a skilled craftsman.
Timeless and highly collectable, they are as joyful as they are beautiful.
Not suitable for children or babies to chew. Display and play only.
