A polychrome ivory netsuke of a young boy kneeling down to play with a tiny Daruma doll. Carved and signed by Japanese artist Komin, 20th century. When Westerners began to take an interest in netsuke, particularly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, netsuke carvers turned to the world around them for netsuke subjects. Activities of ordinary people, such as this child at play, helped create a picture of Japan during the period in which the pieces were carved. Daruma, the monk who brought Z ...click for details
