ANIMALS AS ART
You're at home in the presence of Polar Bears.
A Polar Bear and its cub have invited themselves into your home and are sleeping together peacefully.
You can almost hear them breath.
It's as if they are alive.
These are not live Polar Bears.
Nor are they taxidermied creatures, once alive but killed to be displayed.
We're opening a new realm of art.
Use of advanced materials and unmatched craftsmanship made it possible for you to witness the animals come to life.
Feel the overwhelming excitement towards art and love for animals that no other conventional art, interior decor, or taxidermy can ever provide.

Realistic art embracing life
The making of ultimate art and super realism.
Our Polar Bear is wrapped in top quality fur provided by a manufacturer whose products may be
seen in blockbuster Hollywood films featuring various animals and creatures.
This fur is manufactured without harming animals. Each strand of fur is meticulously implanted into the Polar Bear's head and laid into place around the torso with precision in order to recreate an authentic look and feel.
Extensive research allowed us to capture fine details such as the texture of paw pads and sharpness of claws. Take a glimpse of its fierce row of teeth, which hides just beneath its unassuming peaceful expression. Our Polar Bear is not only cuddly, but it also reminds us of its carnivorous origin.
Press your hand against its body. You will be surprised at how realistic it feels beneath the fur.
The bone structure, the softness and firmness of the body tissue, carefully mimics that of a real life polar bear.

Production - How the idea came together -
BLAST Inc.'s producer Junya Okabe was looking up at a mounted polar bear displayed at an overseas store front.
The polar bear, which once roamed the earth, stood in a menacing pose with eyes wide open.
His heart sunk after seeing the polar bear that had been killed only to become a decorative object for human pleasure.
However, it sparked an idea.
"I'll use my experience to create animals that look alive. Not by killing animals that were alive."
Junya reached out to his longtime friend of over 30 years, Shuichi Miyawaki, who helms Japan's premier figurine manufacturer, Kaiyodo. Through Shuichi, he made contact with Shinobu Matsumura, an authority in animal sculptures, who works on Kaiyodo's animal products.
He tasked Shinobu to create a zoologically correct base model of a polar bear sleeping peacefully with its cub.
The bears needed to look natural together as you might expect to see them in their natural habitat.
After the base models were complete, production of life size models of the polar bears began.
The life size models were created by Junya Okabe's art studio ZEPPET, lead by chief model creator, Yuya Takahashi.
The Polar Bears became the first work for ANIMALS AS ART.
We offer a proven track record and unmatched craftsmanship you can trust.
Top industry talent have gathered to create the greatest animal art ever.
