Netsuke 根付 ねつけ
The main DARUMA MUSEUM entry is here
. Netsuke and Daruma.
Netsuke (Japanese:根付)
are miniature sculptures that were invented in 17th-century Japan to serve a practical function (the two Japanese characters ne + tsuke mean "root" and "to attach"). Traditional Japanese garments—robes called kosode and kimono—had no pockets; however, men who wore them needed a place to store their personal belongings, such as pipes, tobacco, money, seals, or medicines.
