DESCRIPTION:
Hans Middelhoven said Excellent. I am an avid netske collector The book covers the history how to collect Good illustrations Easy readind and a good reference book. Beautiful Book This book is beautiful; well illustrated. If you collect netsuke, ojimi beads, etc., then this book is very informative and well written.
It records the evolution of materials and techniques and the patterns of craftsmanship, and is illustrated with some of the very finest examples. A foreword by renowned ceramics artist Edmund de Waal, author of The Hare with Amber Eyes, sheds new light on the beauty and value of these miniature works of art.. The netsuke is a thing of wonder: a tiny utilitarian accessory to traditional Japanese dress that has become an art form in itself, prized by collectors from East to West. The V&A’s collection of netsuke is world-famous, and this stunning book draws on its many highlights to explore the origins of netsuke and to trace the sources of these designs in prints, paintings, and woodblock-printed books
