A practical invention that filled a specific need in Japan, netsuke began as small toggles from which to hang pouches, boxes, and other personal objects from the sash of a kimono, evolving over 300 years to take the form of miniature sculptures. They could take the form of animals, folktale characters, demons, plants, masks, or functional objects; rarely used today, they have become prized collector's items and offer insights into historical Japanese life and culture. This book catalogs hundreds of these charming, superbly crafted miniatures in black and white photos and specific notations of there are and origin.
