Japanese peopleused to hang their everyday articles such as small money pouches, tobaccopouches, and seal or medicine cases (inro) from their sash or belt (obi),because the Japanese traditional garment (kimono) has no pockets. To prevent itfalling to the ground, the hanging object(s) (collectively called sagemono) wasattached to a small toggle with a cord, and the toggle is called netsuke. Ingeneral, the netsuke has the following physical characteristics orrequirements: • To serve as a toggle attached to hanging objects, it has a holeor a channel (himotoshi) to put the cord through. • To be worn as an accessory or held in hands, it doesn't (orshouldn't) have parts that can easily be broken or might catch the garment. • To be worn at the waist, it is comparatively small. It isgenerally about as large as you can hold in your hand, but it could be a bitsmaller or larger than that.
In early times,netsuke flourished as a part of the ensemble with a small pouch and/or an inroand cord-tightening bead (ojime). Nowadays, many netsuke are exhibited, traded,collected as independent objects, but they were originally attached tosagemono, some sets of which you might also see in museums, privatecollections, galleries, and publications.
