PREFACE
The Japanese netsuke form a miniature sketch ofJapan, her life, her manners, and her quaint customs, unfamiliar to our Western world.
The author offers, in all humility, this first attempt in the field of literature; a collection of data, references, and legends on the fascinating subject, with the hope that it will bring about a better understanding and appreciation of his subject to the new collector, and a deeper satisfaction in the possessions that he may have accumulated, to the seasoned collector.
Since the collection illustrated, with a few noted exceptions, is the property of the author, pains have been taken to choose as far as possible those representative of well-known legends, historical events, and phases of everyday life, rather than others of intrinsic merit which relate no particular story.
