A netsuke is a miniature sculpture, originating in 17th century Japan. Initially a button closure simply carved on the cords of an inro box, netsuke then developed into richly carved handicrafts.
Traditionally, Japanese clothing - the kosode and its later evolution, the kimono - had no pockets. Although the kimono sleeves could be used to store small objects, the men who wore the kimono needed a larger and stronger container in which to store their personal belongings, such as pipes, tobacco, silver and seals, which resulted in the development of containers known as sagemono, which were suspended by cords from the belts of the dresses ( obi).

Today, netuke production continues and some modern netukes can reach high prices in the UK, Europe, US, Japan and elsewhere
