Indeed, the Netsuke is an extremely <strong>refined carved button<\/strong>. Did you know that all its surfaces are smooth to avoid damaging the fabric of the kimono, much less hurt the man that wears it? Did you know that they often featured human figures, life scenes or animals? Besides being functional, the Netsuke also symbolized a social rank, sometimes a trade or expressed for some of them, among the most rare, a carved love scene!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1856\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1856\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.buttonsparadise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Netsuke-dos-sans-fond.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1856 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.buttonsparadise.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Netsuke-dos-sans-fond.png\" alt=\"bouton japonais en ivoire vue de dos\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1856\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bouton Netsuk\u00e9 vu de dos, en ivoire \u00a9 BUTTONS PARADISE<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>And all because kimonos have no pockets, the Netsuke was simply the <strong>button<\/strong> that allowed its owner to attach a box (sagemono) to the kimono by a string, containing his belongings.
