NETSUKE – JAPANESE LIFE AND LEGEND IN MINIATURE by Edwin C. Symmes, Jr.,Charles E. Tuttle Co., Vermont & Japan, 1991/2000.  ”Netsuke are superb miniature carvings, usually less than two inches high, that have been created by Japanese artists for over three hundred years.  During that time, they have portrayed almost every aspect of life and culture in Japan.  These tiny carvings were traditionally used to prevent the cord attached to a gentleman’s medicine box or tobacco pouch from slipping through the belt of his kimono.  Today they are highly collectible works of art.” This book presents over seventy full-page color photographs of netsuke as well as interesting commentaries relating the pieces to Japanese life and legend.  Information on the carvers has also been provided whenever possible.  This book covers by chapter:  A Guide to the Pronunciation of Japanese; Introduction; Notes on Netsuke Carving; Notes on Netsuke Photography; Notes on Netsuke Collecting; Japanese Life and Legend in Miniature; Selected Bibliography; and Glossary-Index.  This book is an invaluable reference for the collector, dealer, or historian of Japanese netsuke.  His Imperial Highness Prince Norihito of Takamado writes in the foreword to this book: “Mr. Symmes’ approach…is an amazing and excellent, not to mention enjoyable, one.” 7.25” x 10.1” softback in very good condition.  199 pages.
