Netsuke - classic belt decorations for men - are rooted in a
historical, mythological and artistic tradition in Japanese
culture. Woodcarvers and their pupils, even counterfeiters,
continued the work of their role models, in copies or variants of
what came before them, and even created major works of art with the
smallest of dimensions. Since the opening up of Japan in 1853, the
miniature works have gained appreciation, and enthusiasts are found
all over the world. Today netsuke are still being created in a
great variety of motifs. Netsuke in Comparison presents one hundred
netsuke from a private collection. For the very first time, it
endeavours to juxtapose them with comparative images from
collections and literature in order to locate them within this
genre and to convey something of their diversity and
expressiveness. Text in English and German.
