Carolyn Putney, curator of Asian Art at the Toledo Museum of Art, introduces you to the fascinating world of netsuke, the small toggles used to fasten containers to traditional Japanese men's clothing. By the 18th century these utilitarian devices had evolved into small sculptures, giving us a window into Japanese life at that time. The exhibition "Life in Miniature" showcases the collection of over 200 ceramic netsuke donated to the TMA by collector Richard Silverman.
