Netsuke — Storia e analisi

Tre Toggles Intagliati (Netsuke). I netsuke, o toggles, venivano utilizzati per fissare oggetti personali all'obi, o fascia, del kimono di un uomo. Spesso sono decorati in modo inventivo e assumono le forme più diverse, attraverso le quali il portatore poteva esprimere il proprio gusto.

Con questi tre netsuke a forma di maschera, il proprietario stava ovviamente mostrando il suo amore per il No.
