Janel,
Another book I enjoy and find helpful is "Masterpieces of Netsuke Art: One thousand favorites of leading collectors" compiled by Bernard Hurting. 1973 Another book by Raymond Bushell is "Collectors' Netsuke" 1971. The first netsuke book I bought was "Netsuke Carving" by Masatoshi and Raymond Bushell , it gave a different perspective on the netsuke at a time when many Japanese artists were reluctant to discuss their art. Many still are. I think "The Carving Path" is unique because so many incredible artists are willing to share their knowledge. That is a rare thing. Thank you all.
