Notes

General Note:

Netsukes are miniature sculptures that were invented in 17th-century Japan to serve as a buttonlike fixture on a sash, from which small personal belongings were hung. Ojime are a type of bead which originated in Japan. They were worn between the inro and netsuke and are typically under an inch in length. Each is carved into a particular shape and image, similar to the netsuke, though smaller.
