Abstract

Netsuke is an example of Japanese traditional arts. Netsuke functions as a fashion accessory and is an element of a complex composition. Netsuke can be considered as small sculpture. It has been produced in different materials and in various subjects. The common light and entertaining expression of these small carvings can be linked to Ukiyo state of mind of the art of Edo Period. Netsuke is remarkable for its meticulous craft in such small size.

The aim of this article is to introduce this miniature art form and  to question the issue of dimension in sculpture.
