Auction Catalog


Proceeds to benefit the International Netsuke Society

This charity auction will be the first which I hope will inaugurate a new source of revenue for the International Netsuke Society. This is a group of auction quality netsuke for all collecting levels which can be had for very reasonable prices. I have personally selected all lots from various collectors and dealers who offered to let their treasures go at a most reasonable reserve, well below market or auction value. . .
