Description

Photograph of two wooden Netsuke. One is of a seated man, holding his right shin. The other is of a seated man, with his shin facing forward. Netsuke are ornaments worn with a Kimono. The Netsuke is tied a silk bag hidden behind the sash for belongings. They were especially popular during the Tokugawa period (1603–1868) and are seen by many as fine works of miniature art. This Netsuke is from Doctor Hermann Gunther's collection of Netsuke now held by the History of Science Museum, Oxford
