Japanese Antique Wooden Small Netsuke 'Two wild boar' 1960s

About the Item

This is an antique netsuke made in Japan around Showa period 1960s. Dimensions: 2.5 x 2.3 x H2 cm Sculpture: Wild Boar Era: 1960s (Showa) Netsuke is a miniature sculpture, originating in 17th century Japan. Initially a simply-carved button fastener on the cords of an inro box, netsuke later developed into ornately sculpted objects of craftsmanship. Traditionally, Japanese kimono did not have pockets. Though the sleeves of the kimono could be used to store small items, the men who wore kimono needed a larger and stronger container in which to store personal belongings, such as pipes, tobacco, money and seals, resulting in the development of containers known as sagemono, which were hung by cords from the obi.
