    Netsuke, Familiar and Unfamiliar: New Principles for Collecting
  

*by N***A on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 11, 2007*

There are many good thoughts for all, carvers, sellers, deallers, collectors.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A "must have" reference for netsuke collectors
  

*by H***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 17, 2000*

Lavishly illustrated with color photographs of 790 netsuke (plus black and white photos of signatures) with explanatory text and organized into 45 brilliantly conceived categories. In the body of the text (new principles  for collecting) Mr. Bushell fully displays the erudition one would expect  from such a formidable collector but manages to do so in a way that is easy  to grasp and immensely entertaining. Bravo, Mr. Bushell !

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Serious book for those who are seriously interested in Netsuke
  

*by H***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 28, 2013*

This is not a glossy coffee table book, though there are some beautiful photos, it is a serious work that examines Netsuke and their history. Quite a scholarly work packed with information about how the collecting of Netsuke and other Japanese miniature carving could develop in the future - given the fact that the existing very finest works are already owned and held in private collections and therefore there is little trading of Netsuke, except presumably privately among the incredibly wealthy, and most pieces are unavailable to the individual collector. The purpose of the book is really to create a new philosophy surrounding the collection of high quality Japanese carvings for the serious collector who is not a multi millionaire.
