Ships with careful packing from Japan.\nMexico's Oaxaca state is known as a treasure trove of handicrafts. In the mid-20th century, a man began creating wooden animal carvings that caught the early attention of Alexander Girard, a designer representative of the mid-century era. Now recognized as a symbol of Mexican craftsmanship, Oaxacan wood carving features early pieces with rough carvings made using a machete, limbs and tails simply nailed on, and the rich fading of aniline dyes, all of which exude a certain charm and have been loved by many artisans in Japan. This book introduces 130 animal carvings, including collections from Shoji Hamada, Seiichi Horiuchi, Sayiro Yuzuki, Sori Yanagi, and Noriyuki Yamamoto.Shipping\nFedEx, Japan Post, USPS ,etc\n(Not available for selection)Terms of Sale\n*A tracking number is pro.
