In Japanese culture, small dog figures symbolize loyalty, protection, and safe journeys — which is why I designed this piece especially as a hanging ornament.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe faceted carving marks are intentionally kept visible to honor centuries-old Japanese wood carving traditions. Rather than polishing away the handmade texture, I preserve the carved planes so each piece carries the feeling of traditional craftsmanship passed down through generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e⸻\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e🌳 Material \u0026amp; Size\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach dog is carefully hand carved from natural basswood, a wood long valued in carving for its smooth grain and ability to hold fine detail.
