netsuke

Netsuke distill the essence of times and places. Worn as part of a traditional Japanese man’s 17th-c ensemble, the netsuke’s purpose and its functional simplicity lent artists unlimited freedom to constantly redefine what it could be. Netsuke must be small, have holes to pass a single cord through, and they must have no protuberances to damage one’s kimono. Netsuke differ in style, subject, and material as widely as the personalities of their makers.
