Good readable/working copy.; The book is protected with a clearcover, the clearcover is damaged, with some chips and tears throughout.; "George Lazarnick, produced a detailed study on the signatures of netsuke and inro artists, together with easily followed guidelines on how they may be read as well as illustrated notes on the calligraphic construction of the numerous Japanese characters involved. Over a period of several years, in addition to forming a collection of fine netsuke, Mr. Lazarnick has been amassing much detailed information on their carvers, searching out fine examples of their work throughout the world and recording the signatures in a systematic fashion. He has been aided in this work by his own natural gift for photography which, together with a large amount of painstaking research and help from other collectors and Oriental art dealers, has gone towards the production of this book. As George Lazarnick mentions in his introduction, one of the most difficult and brain-taxing aspects of reading and interpreting signatures is that the carved or engraved calligraphy used by the artists does not always follow the strict kanji or printed form of the characters represented. It is in this particular area that Mr. Lazarnick provides us with a wealth of useful information, together with many clear photographs of actual signatures. The majority of these have been enlarged so that the scholar may interpret the quirks and calligraphic mannerisms used by the artists in question with greater ease. As Mr. Lazarnick points out this is not another netsuke and inro book as such. He does not delve deeply into the biographies or artists, the styles of carving that they employed, or the materials that they used. He wisely feels that most of these aspects of the field have been covered and that he would shine a new light, from a different angle on this fascinating subject." excerpt from the foreword by Neil K. Davey, London, 1976.…

4° Leinen. 839 S., weit über 1000 Abb. Original-Leineneinband, 28 x 22 cm, leichte Rand- und Rückenbräunung, Innenseiten mit minimaler altersbedingter Randbräunung, durchweg sauber, voll intakt. Akribische Darstellung der Künstlersignaturen des Netsuke und der dazugehörigen Objekte unterteilt in die Unterschiedlichen Sachgebiete. Unterschiedliche Auflistungen. Eines wenn nicht DAS umfangreichste Werk zu diesem Thema. Netsuke sind kleine geschnitzte Figuren aus Japan. Sie dienten als Gegengewicht bei der Befestigung eines Sagemono (hängendes Behältnis) wie z. B. eines Inro, einer flachen, kleinen, mehrteiligen Lackholzdose am Obi des taschenlosen Kimono. Zur Befestigung der Kordel finden sich an den meisten Netsuke zwei Schnurlöcher, welche Himotoshi genannt werden. Bevorzugtes Material waren ursprünglich Wurzelholz, Elfenbein, aber auch Wal- und Walrosszähne, Holz, insbesondere Buchsbaum, Bambus, Hirschhorn und weitere. Sie entstanden im ausgehenden 17. Jahrhundert mit dem Erstarken des Bürgertums und hielten sich bis in die 1880er Jahre, als der Kimono als Alltagskleidungsstück außer Gebrauch geriet. Als Kunstobjekte werden sie jedoch bis in die Gegenwart hergestellt. (Quelle: Wikipedia) Netsuke8100 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 3000.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. English text; Hardcover (with dust jacket); 22.5 x 29 cm; 4.3 kg; 2 volumes with 1059 pages and over 5000 entries.; SCARCE REFERENCE BOOK ON NETSUKE.; Used with signs of wear on the exterior and interior. The dust jackets show edge wear, wear marks, scuffs and scratches on the front cover, spine and back cover. The dust jacket spines are very slightly faded. The dust jacket of volume I has a tear at the bottom of the front cover and another tiny tear at the top of the spine. The dust jacket of volume II has a tiny tear at the top of the spine and is also scuffed. Interior of both volumes with signs of wear, namely an ex-library stamp on the first pages. Good condition overall.; Since netsuke made their first appearance in Europe over 100 years ago, they have slowly but steadily been established among an enthusiastic circle of collectors as serious objects of art. These small sculptures range in size from 3 to 15 cm and display astonishing detail. Since the seventeenth century, they have served as a medium for artistic expression that comes as near to perfection as anything human hands could create. This publication represents the lifetime collection and study of netsuke by Frederick Meinertzhagen, one of the world's foremost authorities on netsuke. Meinertzhagen realized the need for a single source that would provide the necessary information for collectors to appreciate fully their unique qualities, but was unable to find a publisher willing to take on such an enormous task. Eventually, he indexed his entire collection; it is currently on display at the British Museum library, so that others might benefit from it. With the permission of the Museum, netsuke enthusiasm George Lazarnick photographed the entire Index for publication, thereby creating a source that successfully presents this wealthy of information to all serious collectors and dealers of netsuke. The Index consists of two volumes with over 5,000 entries that provide detailed information on individual netsuke. Perhaps the most exciting and helpful aspects of the Index are the marvelously accurate drawings of netsuke done by Meinertzhagen. The cards provide a hand drawn facsmile of the artist's signature, accurately recording the carver's original calligraphy and his kakihan. Historical backgrounds, critical commentaries, notes on various artists, and methods of collecting are included by Meinertzhagen on the cards, along with illustrations of some 100 unsigned netsuke. The book also includes photographs, correspondence, and personal insigns by those who knew Meinertzhagen, providing a complete detail of his life and work. This publication will serve as an authoritative and comprehensive reference guide for all serious collectors of netsuke and related arts. Distinguished collector Raymond Bushell notes, "George Lazarnick, with his great knowledge of netsuke and his professionalism in photography, makes the best of the Meinertzhagen Card Index available to collectors in the form in which (Meinertzhagen) wanted it. The book is a practical undertaking and a great service to collectors.". …

Good condition overall.; "The first logically organized approach to the problem of helping a collector identify an unknown signature was made in 1976 by Mr. Lazarnick when he wrote and assembled The Signature Book of Netsuke, Inro and Ojime Artists in Photographs. This was a methodically planned reference work containing and extraordinary amount of detailed information on these artists presented in such a manner that even a neophyte collector could soon learn how to read signatures and identify artists. This present book, Netsuke and Inro Artists and How to Read Their Signatures is an outgrowth of his first work but can only be compared in part since the information now included is far more comprehensive and better arranged, while the number of photographs reproduced is enormously greater. The material gathered by Mr. Lazarnick is staggering in its volume. For example he reproduces five and one-half times as many kahihan as the one hundred in Joly's Behrens Collections. He photographed netsuke, inro and their signatures and collected information from 23 museums, countless collectors, dealers and auction houses, and extracted material from just about all of the books on the subject in several languages including Japanese." excerpt from the foreword by C.V.S.
