Pole Pole Wooden Animal Anteater

The anteater is a toothless mammal that feeds on ants and termites. It can be found in the savanna from southern Mexico to Paraguay, and in northern Argentina.

The T-Lab Japan brand and Pole Pole wooden animals have been part of Japanese culture for over ten years. The name Pole Pole comes from Swahili meaning 'slowly, slowly', which refers to the careful and unhurried work required to create these pieces.

Each Pole Pole animal is skillfully carved in Indonesia. The wood is then carefully sanded to create a smooth surface and finally each piece is hand-painted and finished in Japan.

Each Pole Pole has slight differences, making them unique. It requires a lot of skill and meticulous work on the part of the artisans to achieve almost identical results between each animal.

Pole Poles are made of albizia wood (similar to balsa). This is one of the fastest growing tropical trees. This is why they are considered more sustainable trees. This wood comes from the T-Lab factory in Indonesia. The pieces do not have chemical treatment on the wood or the paint.
