It is some kind of wood, surprisingly light in weight, losing a varnish-like coating.&nbsp; As can be seen, the amber mouthpiece has broken.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m wondering if it could be Japanese only because the Japanese clerk in the shop where I used to buy (Chinese knock off) ojime, answering my question about one of them, told me it was wearing traditional Japanese baby clothing.&nbsp; Just the same: like a hospital gown with a ruffle around the neck, backside exposed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Realized in looking at the photos the little guy may have had a pipe of his own, to go with his bowl of bubble solution.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]120242[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]120243[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]120244[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]120245[/ATTACH] </p><p>All I know is what I see.&nbsp; Can anyone tell me more?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
