This is a wood-carved fish (pirarucu).
The material is Japanese cypress, and it is painted with acrylics.
The dimensions are approximately 12 cm in height, 5.5 cm in width, and 9 cm in depth.

It is said that the pirarucu is a fish that has not changed its appearance for over 100 million years.
Apparently, it can breathe not only through gills but also through its swim bladder, which functions like lungs.
I suspect the reason it has remained unchanged is that it has been able to adapt to the changes that have occurred.

ご購入時の注意点　Points to note when purchasing

In principle, we do not accept returns or exchanges due to customer preference.
You may find minor scratches or slight distortions, which are part of the unique charm of handmade items.
Please note that colors and textures may appear different depending on your device or lighting conditions.
As this is made of wood, it may crack due to repeated cycles of moisture absorption and drying. Additionally, if kept in a hot environment, the natural oils within the wood may melt and seep to the surface. We recommend storing the item in a location with minimal fluctuations in temperature and humidity. In particular, please avoid storage in direct sunlight or near air conditioning vents, as these will accelerate the deterioration of the wood.
Some requests cannot be accommodated after purchase, so if you have any questions, please feel free to ask before placing your order.
