Description
Netsuke, originally designed as functional garment closures, became intricate sculptures during Japan's Edo period (17th–19th centuries). These miniature works of art were used to secure items like inro to a kimono's sash while showcasing skilled craftsmanship. This hand-carved boxwood netsuke takes the form of a hare, a symbol of longevity and renewal in East Asian culture. Revered in folklore and often associated with the moon, the hare embodies wisdom and vitality. This finely crafted piece is a timeless collectible.

Beautiful little item to add to my wife’s collection.
There was a mix up on delivery but they corrected the problem very quickly.
