A new title on the intricate skill of creating Japanese netsuke,
traditionally created for proactical reasons (to secure a valuables pouch to the
sash of Japanese garments), yet now highly collectible works of art. Concise,
step-by-step instructions are accompanied by numberous color photographs taking
the reader through a wide range of projects.
In The Art of Carving Netsuke, author and Chairman of the British Woodcarvers
Association, Peter Benson, will inspire carvers of all abilities, from the
relative beginner to the experienced and dedicated carver to create their own
superb, miniature carvings reflecting Japanese tradition.
