Sculptor Atsuhiko Misawa's popular [ANIMALS] works are now palm-sized miniatures!
This is the first miniature figure collection of sculptor Atsuhiko Misawa's popular [ANIMALS] series.
Works that you usually look up at in life-size can now be held in your palm and admired in detail from every angle.
From the many works available, the first series features five selections: Bear (Spirit Bear), Bird (Blue), Tanuki, Tiger (White), and Elephant.
Based on thorough research of the original life-size sculptures, the figures were created with a unified sense of scale and volume.
While maintaining the proportions of the original sculptures, details such as the chisel marks and scroll touches have been adjusted to suit the miniature size.
Every detail, including the eyes, nose, mouth, claws, inside of the ears, and paw pads, has been meticulously sculpted and painted.
Turn your display space into your very own miniature museum. Perfect for collections or as a gift.
