Netsuke are known to have been made of porcelain also, but only a very few have survived to this day.

It is too long to go into every type of Netsuke, but every god, the good and evil spirits, animals, the Zodiac, the Months, Poetry and Proverbs, feats of strength, etc., have a special Netsuke de- dicated to them.

Messrs. Komor and Komor will be only too pleased to explain the various designs and histories of the Netsuke that they have in their collection to those interest-f ed in this type of antiques.
