Netsuke Source
Netsuke [the Japanese pronunciation is "netskeh"]are Japanese miniature carvings originally designed to hold a purse in place on the obi [belt] of a man's kimono. Shown on this site are erotic netsuke, carvings in ivory [antique] or synthetic reproductions. They state that the synthetics are individually painted, and many photographs are offered of each. These collectibles are not inexpensive, and as with any sizeable investment you should contact the website directly to satisfy yourself on the heritage of the piece you want instead of just ordering blindly. Ordering is via secure cart. In addition to estate sale collections and modern reproductions they also offer several books on Japanese erotic art. These carvings are lovely little pieces of art. Nice clean website. -- Peter
