Tiki-osity appears to be a pan-Asian phenomenon. Here are a couple of tribal carvings I saw in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia:

Great post, I lived in Okinawa in 1969 and there were carvings like the DMZ tiki carved by Ryukyan islanders whom the Japanese had invaded hundreds of years before. They continued this tradition and when weapons were banned by the Japanese they invented a form of fighting using farm tools. I am not sure, maybe one of you knows if this type of carving was initially banned. I didn't see many examples of it when I was there but maybe it was once common and there were a few I can remember.
No photos though, maybe one of you has some?

"It's strange how this synchronicity occurs in vastly separate parts of the world." I agree with you Sabu....the same is the case for pyramids that occurred at the same times in sevral places on the planet. No way could all of these different societies have known what was going on in the far away places, yet the art work, buildings, and practices ran along the same lines.
Great post. I do like the naturalness of including the nots and twigs in the carvings.
