A lively gathering of characters drawn from Chōjū-jinbutsu-giga, the 12th–13th century picture scrolls from Kyoto’s Kōzan-ji temple—often considered the earliest form of manga. Rabbits, frogs, and monkeys move with playful energy across each design, echoing scenes of everyday life, rituals, and humor, all captured without words.

Carved from natural wood with rubber stamp faces, each piece preserves the expressive, brush-like linework of the original scrolls. The square format frames each figure in motion, allowing you to arrange them freely—scattered across a page or sequenced into your own quiet narrative.

Use them to animate journal spreads, add a cultural and artistic touch to correspondence, or build rhythmic patterns that feel both historic and fresh. Each impression carries a sense of movement, as if the story continues just beyond the page.
