Description
The netsuke is an object of wonder: a tiny utilitarian accessory to traditional Japanese dress that has become an art form in itself. This book presents the Victoria and Albert Museum's world-famous collection of netsuke, showcasing their evolution over time.
With some of the finest examples illustrated throughout, this volume explores the development of materials and techniques used in these small toggle objects, as well as the patterns of craftsmanship that have made them highly prized by collectors from East to West. A foreword by renowned ceramics artist Edmund de Waal adds new insight into the beauty and value of these miniature works of art.
