Description Beautiful antique ivory Japanese netsuke. This netsuke is made of antique elephant ivory (zouge in Japanese) with beautiful striation and ring patterns. Expertly carved and with an impressive luster and sheen, this high quality ivory does have some scratches and scuff marks as evidence of past use and the entire piece wears a darkened patina of age. In the Japanese mind these marks are thought to contribute to the appeal of a netsuke and give the object its sense of character and past utility. The Japanese use the word aji to specifically refer to this quality, which is thought to complete the netsuke as an art object intended for functional, daily use. This netsuke wasacquired in the historic city of Shizuoka, Japan (retirement home of the Tokugawa Shoguns) and dates from the late Japanese Edo period (1600-1868) or early Meiji period (1868-1912). The netsuke comes from the estate of family who were of the samurai class during the Japanese feudal period. Please read below to learn more about Japanese netsuke.

A collection of photographs covering the rotating exhibit of Japanese Netsuke at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. These images were taken over the course of about a year and represent the many different styles and carving techniques used by Japanese artisans dating as far back as the 1700's - or 18th century. A 45 second summary early in the video explains the purpose of netsuke and how they were worn and used, after which the visuals continue.

For all its beauty, comfort and style the Japanese kimono has never included a convenient place to store personal items. In the past some Japanese would keep the things they needed in the kimono's vast sleeves or tucked into the folds of their garment. Over time however, in became fashionable and convenient to secure personal items such as money pouches and tobacco kits to the belt-like obi. These items and others were kept in place by tying them with a length of cord to a small polished gourd (hyotan) which could then be passed under the obi and in this way used to keep the attached item dangling conveniently at waist level. Such items became known as sagemono in Japanese which literally translates as "hanging ... (less)
