Contemporary Netsuke - Tapa dura

Netsuke, the treasure first mined by Brockhaus and Weber has been ably refined and mounted by many latter-day scholar collectors and enhanced by the miracles of modern photographic reproduction, so that we now have answers to almost all our questions about the good old masters and the good old works that have fascinated
collectors for a century. One might well believe that, save for reports of occasional new discoveries, little remains to be said. Or so it seemed until the arduous spadework of Mrs. Kinsey revealed that wonders have not ceased and that the netsuke tradition is alive and flourishing in our own time.
