About the Item

Beautifyl Ancient bone netsuke created in Japan during Edo period, depicting a A small carved mask-like human face with exaggerated features Hollowed with string holes and a cord still present. Netsuke were functional ornaments used by Japanese men wearing kimono, which had no pockets. Items like inro (medicine/tobacco cases), purses, or seals were suspended from the obi (belt/sash), and the netsuke acted as a toggle to prevent the cord from slipping through. Mask-style netsuke like this one often depict characters from: Noh theatre (classical Japanese drama), Kyogen theatre (comic theatre performed alongside Noh) or mythical/folkloric figures such as demons (oni), gods, or warriors. The expressive carving suggests it might represent a warrior, demon (oni), or comic character.
