Late 1900’s / Collected by Nosan Corporation / Formerly Wakeikan collection / UMUT

These stuffed specimens were donated from Wakeikan, a Japanese cock collection room within Nosan Corporation. In Japan, many local breeds had been made for various purposes such as cockfight, eating or to compete with crowing. Chabo, or Japanese bantam, is a Japanese unique breed made for companion animals. Many of these Japanese cocks are protected as National Natural Treasures.
