Japanese Netsuke: (Updated Edition) (Victoria & Albert Museum-far Eastern)

I am an avid netske collector The book covers the history how to collect Good illustrations Easy readind and a good reference book

I have been chasing this lovely book for some years. The Netsuke collection at the V&A is superb and they have a copy of this book on display behind glass but it has been out of print for a while. Some lovely images from different angles and sometimes much closer than you can see them in real life because of the display restrictions (distance behind the glass and you can't see it from all angles. Would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Japanese culture, especially Netsuke.

this book was bought as a present and didn't disappoint as being informative and was delivered very quickly the price also was a bonus as had seen it much dearer elsewhere

This is a first class book on the subject the plates could not be better and the history on Netsuke is the best I have come across

Very good book on the subject for a novice. Enjoyed it.

Good
