Netsuke, Familiar and Unfamiliar: New Principles for Collecting

There are many good thoughts for all, carvers, sellers, deallers, collectors.

A "must have" reference for netsuke collectors

Lavishly illustrated with color photographs of 790 netsuke (plus black and white photos of signatures) with explanatory text and organized into 45 brilliantly conceived categories. In the body of the text (new principles for collecting) Mr. Bushell fully displays the erudition one would expect from such a formidable collector but manages to do so in a way that is easy to grasp and immensely entertaining. Bravo, Mr. Bushell !
