Tongari Santa Kyoto while on the reverse sideWhen Shimoo Design first started carving these Santas, they were not for sale, but were created as gifts for customers. Each Santa has a unique expression and stands in the world. Please take your time and look for the one of a kind Tongari Santas, which are created by the precious handcraft of sculpture, and no two are alike.
