This listing is for a kibori grouse wood carving made around 20 years ago.  It is carved from a single piece of birch wood and comes from Matsumoto in Nagano Prefecture.  Grouse carvings have been produced in the Matsumoto vicinity since 1955, and they are a traditional craft designated by Nagano Prefecture.  Birch grouse carvings used to be a popular souvenir among tourists visiting the alps, but few craftspeople produce them these days. There is a red stamp which is basically unreadable, but I assume it’s the name of an area or hot spring resort somewhere in Nagano.
