She has since exhibited around the world, with solo exhibitions and numerous group shows throughout Australia, Japan and England.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/maudandmabel.com\/collections\/vendors?q=Yoko%20Ozawa\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eRead more about Yoko's practice and view her full collection.. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yoko Ozawa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44053876277530,"sku":"YO #3","price":950.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0233\/5583\/products\/DSCF9267.jpg?v=1668598269"},{"product_id":"hideo-sawada-wooden-figure-58","title":"Hideo Sawada Wooden Figure 12","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHandmade in Japan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"tabs\" data-persist=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" href=\"#view1\" data-mce-href=\"#view1\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" href=\"#view2\" data-mce-href=\"#view2\"\u003eOrigin\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"tabcontents\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" id=\"view1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" title=\"Page 3\" class=\"page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" title=\"Page 2\" class=\"page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"page\" title=\"Page 2\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e H 13 x L 13 x W 5cm \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hinoki (Cypress)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMethod: \u003c\/strong\u003e Hand carved \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare: \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eKeep out of direct sunlight.
