32 netsuke in collection. view pics (@90) at JohnGinTn.winkflash.com. I have made the photo folders (2) public so there should be no difficulty viewing them. To open the folder, simply position your cursor over the folder and left click. The folders are essentially identical. Unfortunately, one of the Netsuke, seal with karako in ivory, was apparently overlooked in the photo session and is not represented. Accordingly, there will be 31 Netsuke seen in the photos.

To assist you in reviewing the photos, I have matched the photos with the descriptions my mother received from the seller at time of purchase. The numbers seen affixed to the bottoms of the Netsuke in many of the photos can be found in parenthesis just following the photo numbers:
