This review is from: Japanese Treasures: The Art of Netsuke Carving in the Toledo Museum of Art (Paperback)
This is good book to start know about what NETSKE is. It introduces the brief background, type and techniques for Netsuke. What I like was the pictures of marvelous museum collection with notes. It is not thick book like others but it is enjoyable and enriches your mind.
