Netsuke
are tiny Japanese sculptures, first appearing in the 17th century, that
were attached to traditional robes. They acted as fasteners for Inro,
cases that held small objects because the clothing had no pockets. Seen
here, a "frustrated rat catcher" netsuke from the Los Angeles County
Museum of Art.
