The Netsuke Handbook Of Ueda Reikichi

In recent years a number of books have appeared in Western languages on the fascinating miniature sculptures of Japan called netsuke. Oddly enough, all these have been written by Occidentals, most of whom have drawn heavily - with varying degrees of accuracy - upon the research of Japanese experts. High time it is, then that the leading Japanese authority, Ueda Reiki chi, be allowed to speak for himself. Ever since its Japanese publication in 1943, his Netsuke no Kanku has been recognized as a definitive work in the field.
