Vintage Sano Clay Bell "Tiger" is a representative local toy from Sano City, Tochigi Prefecture. The first generation, Ichitaro Aizawa, born in the Meiji era, began making these bells after helping at a neighbor's house that crafted tools for miniature gardens during his childhood. He started producing miniature gardens in the Taisho era and began making clay bells in the early Showa period. Aizawa continued to create his works throughout his life, remaining active even after turning 100.
