INRO NEZUMI

Here are 3 delightful inro featuring nezumi to enjoy ! They also shows the diversity of techniques used to make lacquered objects and turn them into small elegant treasures.
A tonally restrained but wonderful use of the sprinkled gold dust technique 



A  beautiful netsuke attached to a polychrome lacquer with very limited use of gold and skilled use of the low relief technique 



A small ivory netsuke contrasts with plain black and gold used for an outline rather than tone.
