Questions About Netsukes
- What are Japanese netsukes?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022Japanese netsukes are small highly-detailed sculptures that date back to 17th-century Japan. Originally, the figurines allowed men to secure pouches or purses to their sash, as Japanese traditional dress didn’t have pockets. Today, people collect them as art. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Japanese netsukes.
Lotus GalleryMarch 17, 2021A netsuke is a small object, commonly made of carved ivory or wood, but also sometimes various other materials, including ceramic, bone, horn, coral, or even metals. Netsuke served both a decorative and functional purpose. Netsuke always have two holes, and were used as a cord fastener attached to an inro. An okimono is simply a decorative sculpture or object, meant for display and to be admired. Okimono can be made of almost any material, and are usually much larger than netsuke.
