This is a small work by metal sculptor Yoshiro IWAISAKO, featuring a mouse (hamster) motif.

Even a small mouse, usually timid and running away, can find the courage to face a battle if it wears a helmet.
A helmet on its head...
Wait, is that a bucket...?!

Anyway, let the battle begin!!

This popular series depicts animals, usually adored by people, gaining courage and confronting their adversaries by donning samurai helmets and armor.
It also serves as a message to encourage people who bravely challenge something new.

Why not add this small yet impactful piece to your home as an interior decoration or as part of your art collection?
