The netsuke are sculptures of the japanese tradition, whose origin probably dates back to the 15th century.
Created using wood, ivory or bone, they were clips to secure objects on the belts.
With the passage of time the netsuke went from being a tool of daily use to constitute a true form of art, reaching a very high level of decorative finesse.
I received the painting and I am very satisfied. Thank you.
