The netsuke.org FAQ answers: 'A netsuke is a form of miniature sculpture which developed in Japan over a period of more than three hundred years. Netsuke served both functional and aesthetic purposes. The kimono, the traditional form of Japanese dress, had no pockets. Women would tuck small personal items into their sleeves, but men suspended their tobacco pouches, pipes, purses, or writing implements on a silk cord from their obi (kimono sash). These hanging objects are called sagemono. To stop the cord from slipping through the obi, a small toggle was attached. The toggle is called a netsuke.'">artifacts</a> <a href="http://www.stonelantern.com/netsuke1.html" title="An online store has some nice examples to look at">of</a> <a href="http://www.scholten-japanese-art.com/style_online.htm#" title="Scholten Japanese Art's 2001 exhibition">the</a> <a href="http://www.mfa.org/exhibitions/Netsuke.html" title="Netsuke at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts">Edo</a> <a href="http://www.netsuke-inro.com/main.htm" title="Dealer Michael Bernstein has some nice examples">period</a>.
