What in the world is "Wakkanai Stabbed" making? →A superb work of art that reproduces the "sweets" of Hokkaido using wood.
The posters appear to be working on something using a wooden Hokkaido, and the accompanying comment is surreal. And the accompanying one-liner is surreal...such a strange post has become a topic of conversation on social networking sites.
Ugh!
Wakkanai stings!
Quote from @kibori_no_konno's post
When a photo was posted of what appeared to be Wakkanai, the northernmost tip of Hokkaido made of wood and stuck in the stomach, it garnered over 60,000 likes on X. Users said, "Wow, oops," "Hokkaido was a weapon...?" What's going to happen next? Some of them said, "What will happen after this?" and "What is the use of this Hokkaido? What in the world is this Hokkaido made of wood?
It is a wood carving work by Kiborino KONNO! A new world of elaborately crafted art!
The owner of this post is actually "Kiborino Konnno," a wood-carving artist who has become a hot topic on SNS and TV. The Hokkaido made of wood in the image was part of a wood-carving artwork being exhibited at the "Kiborino Konnno Exhibition" currently being held in Sapporo. Among the many precision wood carvings by Kiborino Konnno at the exhibition, Gokatteya Yokan, a popular souvenir of Hokkaido, was also reproduced in elaborate wood carving. Visitors to the exhibition can see the actual product in person.
Round canned yokan made by wood carving.
The slightly transparent yokan, the overly detailed patterns and letters on the package, and the thin threads extending from the yokan were all reproduced by hand.
This time, Gokatteya Honpo sponsored the "Kiborino Konno Exhibition Sapporo" and allowed us to make this product.

In the "Kiborino Konnno" exhibition, there is a quiz corner where visitors can try to determine which wood carving is the real one. quiz corner is being developed.
The Domingo editorial staff tried the quiz and found it to be quite challenging, answering 16 out of 24 questions correctly! The resemblance is so great that it is difficult to distinguish the wood carvings even if you strain your eyes. ...... Please try the quiz, which is sure to get everyone from children to adults hooked!
