Description

Nätcé Miniaturen: Eine Sammlung japanischer Sculpturen aus privaten Sammlungen. This catalogue presents 185 works by Japanese carvers, showcasing the evolution of netsuke from utilitarian objects to art pieces. Created in wood or ivory, these small keychains were used in Japan from the 17th to 19th centuries to attach essential items to a belt. Over time, they became highly prized and are now collected by enthusiasts around the world. The catalogue features works by renowned carvers such as Tomotada, Masanao, Okatomo, Tametaka, Tadatoshi, Mitsuhiro, Kaygokusai, Otoman, and many others. This exhibition showcases a unique aspect of Japanese art history, highlighting the transition from functional objects to decorative pieces. Hardcover, 323 pages.
