Gorgeous - so glad this is back in print
I have been chasing this lovely book for some years. The Netsuke collection at the V&A is superb and they have a copy of this book on display behind glass but it has been out of print for a while. Some lovely images from different angles and sometimes much closer than you can see them in real life because of the display restrictions (distance behind the glass and you can't see it from all angles. Would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Japanese culture, especially Netsuke.

Libro fondamentale
Dopo avere letto "un'eredità d'avorio e ambra" di Edmund de Wall il catalogo della mostra Japanese Netsuke era fondamentale. Veramente un bel catalogo! e voglia di ritornare a leggere la saga della famiglia Ephrussi!!! Notevole anche il servizio di spedizione UPS
