'You will have a moment of quiet delight and a mood of
introspection to carry you away.' Edmund de Waal Prized by
collectors from East to West, Japanese netsuke are tiny objects of
wonder that originated as utilitarian accessories for traditional
Japanese dress. Over the centuries these small carved toggles,
designed to hook over the top of the kimono sash, evolved into
high-fashion depictions of all aspects of Japanese life. In this
richly illustrated and highly accessible book, Julia Hutt draws on
the V&A's world-famous netsuke collection to explore the
origins and techniques of this captivating art form.
