Mallard Duck - Length: slightly over 20 cm Large woodblock hand-dyed stuffed animal. Currently SOLD OUT, this is a popular standard item! It's even more adorable when you line up a Mandarin Duck behind it, so why not get a parent-child set? ★ About Woodblock Hand-Dyeing Woodblock hand-dyeing is a dyeing technique unique to Shinkogei, unlike any other. It involves dyeing plain, raw cotton with traditional Hida woodblocks, fixing the colors at high temperatures, stuffing with husks, and then sewing together. These stuffed animals are handmade by craftsmen. ■ Condition It was displayed as interior decoration, so it has faded slightly compared to when it was new (see photo 5), but otherwise, there are no noticeable stains or scratches.
