Okame Netsuke Ceramic and all the more admirable

and all the more admirable for it

and the only one who engages in violence

and a counterweight like this one made it easier for women to wear their jewelry without affecting their balance

An unusual Japanese staff formed from a single twisting vine

Please note the piece does not stand on its own

Okame Netsuke Ceramic and all the more admirableThe wooden mask netsuke is in the form of Okame. Okame is the goddess of mirth and is said to bring good luck. She is easily identifiable by her full cheeks and is often portrayed in a humorous manner. This large Netsuke is exceptionally carved with intricate details (note the teeth and contour of the face) and has developed a wonderful patina. With stand.
