T-LabJapan and Pole Pole wooden animals have been a part of Japanese culture for over 10 years. The name PolePole pronounced «poh-leh poh-leh» comes from the Swahili words meaning «slowly, slowly». A direct reference to the carefully and slowly hand carved nature of each animal.

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

Each piece is somewhat different and quite unique. Only skilled and meticulous artisans can achieve an almost identical result from one animal to another.
