anyone with an interest in netsuke might want to check out a book called *The Hare with the Amber Eyes* which traces a collection of netsuke through several generations of a Jewish family who loses everything in WW2 to the Nazis but manages to hide and keep their netsuke collection. Lol, it’s not as good a book as my mom thinks it is, but it’s a pretty good book.
