Title
Tobacco
pouch
with a
netsuke
(abalone
shell
motif)
(netsuke
detail)
Description
The
Japanese
tradition
for
clothing
accessories
did
not
decline
after
Western
influence
arrived
in
Japan
after
the
18th
century
. The
only
change
is
that the
inro
(medicine
case)
was
replaced
by the
tobacco
pouch
.
Netsuke
, a
small
accessory
,
functioned
as a
toggle
or
button
for the
wearing
of
articles
,
such
as a
pouch
or a
purse
, on a
sash
, or
obi
in
Japanese
, in
traditional
Japanese
clothing
(kimono)
.
It
was
originally
used
for an
inro
, a
small
medicine
case
, and was
worn
by the
Japanese
men
after
the
16th
century
.
Inro
could
also
contain
a
seal
stamp
and
dry
fruits
for
snacks
, not
only
medicine
. The
art
of
netsuke
reached
its
peak
in the
18th
century
, and
many
designs
were
created
during
this
time
. The
designs
of
netsuke
varied
. They were
largely
inspired
by
Japanese
folk
tales
and
tradition
,
ranging
from
historical
and
genre
figures
, to
animals
and
plants
.
However
,
later
the
carvings
changed
for
foreign
collectors
.
Netsuke
generally
feature
realistically
executed
subjects
.
Traditionally
, the
artist’s
name
would be
carved
at the
bottom
of the
netsuke
.
