Netsuke—a traditional Japanese craft that originated in the 1600s—are popular today as miniature works of art. Jubb, a veteran woodcrafter who both collects and creates netsuke, introduces readers to the fine art of carving them. Many of the tools and materials will be familiar to woodworkers, so Jubb's main focus is on technique, including basic styles and shapes. Several different netsuke are presented from start to finish with step-by-step directions, and Jubb provides an inspirational gallery of objects created by master netsuke carvers. The creations featured in this book are striking; intermediate and advanced woodworkers will find both inspiration and instruction here. Copyright 2011 Reed Business Information.
