This is a catalog of superb netsuke and sagemono (hanging objects) selected from the collections of members of Association Franco-Japonaise. The pieces were shown in Paris in late October, 2019, coincided with the INS Convention. Of particular interest are beautiful kiseruzutsu (pipecases) and exquisitely crafted yatate (portable writing sets).

I think this catalog reflects the taste of discerning European collectors and a long history of collecting Japanese objects in Europe.
