Read the opening paragraph from Yoshi’s research report on netsukes: According to the International Netsuke (NET-skay) Society, a netsuke is “a small sculptural object . . . used as a toggle to suspend items hung from the sash (obi) of the kimono.” Items hung from the sash included writing sets, medicine containers, tobacco pouches, and purses (The British Museum; The Fitzwilliam Museum), and were collectively referred to as sagemono (sah-GAY-mo-no), or “hanging things” (The British Museum). Netsukes have been in use since approximately 1600. At first, they were simple, functional objects, but over time netsukes developed into exquisite works of art, often carved from ivory, amber, or coral, or cast in bronze (The British Museum). Today, these finely detailed little sculptures can be found in museums and private collections around the world.
