Pole Pole, the gentle spirit

Pole Pole means gently in Swahili and sums up the spirit of these figurines. Each animal is designed in Japan and then hand-carved in Bali from albizia wood, a soft and light wood. The paint is plant-based. No two pieces are identical; the grains and shades vary from one animal to another.

A family of animals to collect

The collection includes a variety of animals, from KOTORI birds to bears, whales, cats, and hedgehogs, in several sizes. People often start with one piece and then complete the family. Easy to gift and appreciated by all ages. See also the decoration.
