This Night Heron is woodblock printed and sewn by hand, by Shin Kogei.

Shin Kogei use this wood to make their printing blocks. Designs of animals that can be seen in Hida- Takayama, are transferred to the woodblocks and hand dyed onto natural cotton. Each colour designates a different block used, showing the time spent on each. The animals are filled with natural casks and hand sewn.

9cm by 6.5cm (without its string). It has looped string at its tip, and thicker string at its base for balance.
