Synopsis
Netsuke are small toggles or buckles carved from wood or ivory. The Japanese in the seventeenth century used them to fasten pouches to their kimono belt, since kimonos had no pockets. This lavishly illustrated book takes the reader on an exciting tour of one type of netsuke—those carved to look like the masks used by stage actors.

Masks are widely used in several ancient forms of Japanese drama, and the mask was a frequent theme for Japanese carvers. This book presents a collection of netsuke masks and provides background information on the theatrical genres and the techniques for carving the full-sized masks.
