  1. Lohnt sich für Japan-Kulturfans sehr:
    "Japan auf Papier" gerade in Dresdens Kupferstich-Kabinett eröffnet. Hokusai, Hiroshige, Utamaro und die Grafik der Moderne. Sehr liebevoll aufbereitet, detaillierte Texte mit wirklich vertiefenden Infos.

    Faszinierend auch eine Truhe mit Artefakten: Rauch-Utensilien, ungewöhnliche Tuschebehälter, Zikaden-Netsuke [quasi außer Konkurrenz].

  7. AshmoleanAdvent Day 13: Chestnut #Netsuke.

    Until the 19th century #Japanese citizens wore a kimono, fastened by an obi (sash). Small personal items such as purses, pipes or medicine containers were hung from the sash by silk cords. The cord was threaded through a bead, or ojime, then tucked behind the kimono sash and secured with a small ornamental toggle or counterweight called a netsuke.

  13. Ureshi est un #mot #japonais doux et rond pour quand on est heureux. Pour moi devant un bol de #udon si #umai. Ce serait uramashii! Sauf pour qui se retrouve dans le bol #vegan
    #Ushi décrit bien les paisibles bovins qui n'attaquent personne et mal la belligérente Ushi von der Leyen qui profère des uso. Mais #usagi n'est ni pelucheux, ni gigotant. Pas étonnant que pour lapin on dise plutôt #bunny qui bondit tout #kawaii

  14. There's an exhibition of 18th & 19th century Japanese netsuke in the Chester Beatty Library (until March), and this nearly floored me - absolutely inspired accessibility:

    "At the front desk, 3D-printed models of the exhibited netsuke are available for visually impaired visitors to handle."

    Kudos to the team behind this exhibition! 👏🏼

  16. Netsuke is a Japanese miniature sculpture. They are small figures carved from wood or ivory
    art #Netsuke

  17. #Netsuke of a stylized fukura susume (fat sparrow). Made of ivory. Mid 1700s, Edo Period, #Japan.

    Netsuke were small toggles traditionally used to secure pouches or small containers to the sash of a kimono, as the garments lacked pockets. The delicate carving of the feathers and the facial expression of the sparrow showcases the artisan's skill in transforming a utilitarian object into an intricate piece of art.

    The Fat Sparrow is a symbol often associated with abundance and good fortune.

  19. Here’s an early 20C Japanese ivory netsuke (miniature decorative toggle).

    Note the intentness of the bespectacled woman, with her traditional hairstyle and kimono, as she bends to cut her toenails. Signed Yasufusa, 4 cm long

  24. The #Museum of #EastAsian #Art in Cologne is currently celebrating the 60-year partnership between #Cologne and #Kyōto, showcasing an extraordinary selection of #netsuke (small carved figures, designed to attach to an #inrō, a small medicine box). The exhibition is running until April 1, 2024 and is just as worth seeing as the rest of the museum 😊👌

    A chestnut!
    This small Japanese wooden chestnut, measuring just 4cm wide, is in fact a netsuke. Netsuke were used to attach a medicine box, pipe, or tobacco pouch to the obi (sash) of a kimono. Find out more: ashmolean.org/advent #Advent #Netsuke #JapaneseArt

  32. Been hunting for a little acorn to wear as a necklace for a while and came across this ojime that I couldn't resist. Just arrived and its perfect! I'm a big fan of netsuke and sagemono in general (dangerous things to start collecting!) + acorns are good luck symbols and have a rich mythology of protection, potential, strength and good health. A perfect charm!
