Summary:

Worn by Japanese men as decorative sash toggles, netuske were attracting the attention of Europeans by the late 19th century. Today these delightful art objects are coveted by collectors throughout the world.

Netsuke motifs can be mythical beings and creatures, vernacular deities, zodiac animals, insects, molluscs, and reptiles. Consummate mastery of the carver's craft in a great variety of materials, among them boxwood, ivory, horn, hornbill ivory, coral, tortoiseshell, and lacquer, distinguishes these miniature works of art. In the two volumes more than 850 objects from the collection which belonged to Anne and Christian Trumpf, two leading netsuke collectors, are exhaustively presented in text and pictures.

Contents:

1. 112 Meisterwerke = 112 masterpieces : the Trumpf collection
