Knockin’ on Abe’s door: Japanese PM shows off quirky Canadian souvenir

May 2, 2019 | 7:04 AM

LAKE KAWAGUCHI, Japan — Japan’s prime minister is showing off a folksy souvenir he brought home from his recent trip to Canada.

In a video posted to his official Instagram account, Shinzo Abe installs a wooden door-knocker featuring a wood carving of a beaver.

Whimsical music plays as Abe, straight-faced and wearing a button-up shirt, hammers the accessory into place at his lakeside villa outside Tokyo.

His wife, Akie, laughs as she tests out the contraption.
