We will be selling various handmade stuffed animal creations by the late Sachiko Tanaka, a Kyoto artist. All items are commissioned by the artist's family. These are from the highly-regarded "Small Vegetable Garden" series, and you'll be amazed by their delicate and intricate craftsmanship. These works were exhibited in solo exhibitions for a while and were then carefully preserved by her family. These items are about 30 years old, so they are not brand new as if you bought them in a store. However, they have a warm, comforting feel. You will find them to be wonderful, soulful works that you can display and enjoy without ever getting tired of them. The artist selected the fabrics one by one, dyed them by hand, drew complex lines, and created these works after a painstaking process. As she was from Kyoto, the creations include vegetables unique to Kyoto. The price may be a bit high, but we are confident that these are high-quality items that you won't regret purchasing. They will be shipped individually, without a basket. Items include realistic, large-sized pumpkins, broccoli, yellow peppers, Kyoto carrots, potatoes, butterbur, daikon radish with leaves, and Shogoin daikon (which looks like a turnip, but is not called a turnip in Kyoto), etc. Please be careful not to put them in the refrigerator. You might mistake them for real vegetables. You couldn't buy them at this price at an exhibition. Please use an 8cm lighter or a measuring tape as a size guide. Shipping will be from Tokyo.
