Bone Inro, ojime, netsuke MERMAIDS  Samurai Box

Lovely handcarved bone Reproduction of a Japanese Inro, ojime and the netsuke to match. These sets were worn over the belts of Samurai who had no pockets. They held small treasures, dice and other items important to their owners. The original Japanese sets are worth thousands of dollars. These attractive reproductions are done in China by hand and are not mass produced so even these reproductions are hard to find now. This set has 6 pieces, 4 parts to the inro and the netsuke toggle and the ojime bead to pull the box shut. Inro is 2 1/2" long. About a decade old.
