Description
This item is FINAL SALE.
For 28 years, Tongari Santa has brought a distinctive character to the holiday season. Created by Kazuhiko and Saori Shimoo in Toyama, north-central Japan, every wooden figure is individually carved, painted, and finished by hand. The eyes are added last, the moment its makers feel the Santa comes to life.
Variations in expression, beard, and carved details give every Santa a personality of its own. No two are exactly alike, making each figure an individual piece to display year after year or give to someone special.

About Tongari Santa
Tongari Santa, whose name means "pointy Santa" in Japanese, is a hand-carved wooden figure made in Toyama, Japan, distinguished by its tall, tapered silhouette. Each figure is carved individually, with faces, beards, hairstyles, and buttons varying from piece to piece. The eyes are painted last, a moment the makers describe as when the figure finally comes to life. Now in its 28th year, the Tongari Santa is produced in collaboration with carvers from Inami, a district in Toyama with a 250-year tradition of woodcarving, with each piece still finished by hand.
