Subject:Seeking experience/knowledge about Netsuke
Posted By: Netsuke-curious Sun, Jul 30, 2017 IP: 2600:1003:b84b:cde2:

Greetings, I'd be grateful for observations about this piece. Is it connected to any traditional parable? Do the mens' clothes, expressions, or activities provide any information? Is it possible to identify the style or signature? Thank you for any thoughts. -wd

Looks like a tourist market piece made in the 1950s or later from resin or possibly tagua nut, but not ivory.
