Some background

Netsuke (Japanese:??) are miniature sculptures that were invented in 17th centuryJapan to serve a practical function (the two Japanese characters ne+tsuke mean \"root\" and \"to attach\"). Traditional Japanese garment—robes calledkosode and kimono —had no pockets, however men who wore them needed a place to store their personal belongings such as pipes, Tobacco, money, seals, or medicines.

Their solution was to place such objects in containers (called sagameno) hung by cords from the robes\' sash (obi). The containers may be a pouch or a small woven basket, but the most popular were beautifully crafted boxes (inro), which were held shut by anojime which were sliding beads on cords. Whatever the form of the container, the fastener that secured the cord at the top of the sash was a carved, button-like toggle called a netsuke.

Netsuke, like the inro and ojime, evolved over time from being strictly utilitarian into objects of great artistic merit and an expression of extraordinary craftsmanship. Such objects have a long history reflecting the important aspects of Japanese folklore and life. Netsuke production was most popular during theEdo periodin Japan, around 1615-1868.
