Although these hand-crafted animals are made today, we believe this duck is older. It is an estate find from a large collection of items from Japan and a collection of sewing articles. This shinkogei was used as a pin cushion. They are made in Gifu, Japan, from naturally dyed woodblock printed cloth. They are handsewn and stuffed with rice chaff. They are meant to be safe for children to play with but since this one was used as a pin cushion and might still have needles buried inside, it probably should be kept as a collectible. It is about 4.5" long.
