The Bear Story
I am still learning about this series.
But I will add information as I find out more.

Here is a small "The Bear Story" figure who has been much loved! On his back you can see the Sekiguchi imprint that helps to identify this series. Also pictures is a wooden table which is very different from the "Teddy Bear Story" one, it is thought that originally came with seats in the shape of logs.
Much thanks to Rosemarye for these photos.

Some times the figures are advertised for sale under a different name. (Usually they mistaken as some kind of Sylvanian)
here is a good example of this, two The Bear Story Grandparents (with a different brand one as well)
The Bear Story released cats & rabbits as well. In the photos above you can see the Grandparents, parents, some of the children & a lovely pale Nurse Cat.
Many thanks to Lesley B for the use of photos of her collection.

These cats were recently for sale on eBay in Sweden. While I believe they have sold (well done!) it goes to show that they can be found anywhere & if you plan to collect then keep your eyes out!
I found some of my collection at a local doll & teddy bear show.

The photos of this Christmas set came to me from a lovely lady named Julie Hussey who sent me an email after finding this website.
Hi,
I own a Teddy Bear Story Christmas set and I’ve checked over the years to see if I could find the set out on the web. I’ve never seen it and you don’t have it on your website so I thought I’d send you picture of it. I absolutely love it! And now my grand daughter does.
I believe I purchased it around 1985 or 1986 in Minnetonka, MN, at a children’s clothing store I worked at.
Thanks,
Julie Hussey
