Hi - I had the "pleasure" of spending 16 months in the Republic of Korea, courtesy of Uncle Sam. The hat on the old gentleman is Korean, not Japanese. He's a typical Papa-San.

Cheryl - I love it too and actually bot it for my sister on Vancouver Island in Canada.
Her condo is all Japanese and thot she would like it. And she loves it. My other sister is an artist and can copy anything so know she will do one for her house too. I won't be putting it on EBay. They have such character in their faces, warm and loving and he has a twinkle in his eye. I found this at a yard sale and kept going back to it and tried to get the dealer down, but no way. Paid 75 for it.
