Description
Traditionally closures for garments, netsuke evolved into a form of sculpture from the 17th century. Hand-carved boxwood swimming carp, this fish is known as the 'Dragon Fish', it is believed to bring luck, wealth, and protection. In Chinese folklore, carps that can swim upstream and leap over the falls at the Dragon Gate on the Yellow River will be transformed into dragons. Perfect as a decorative piece or a thoughtful gift, this Swimming Carp Netsuke embodies cultural heritage and artistry.

Made exclusively for Museum Selection.

Really love this. My son collects netsukes so I am very choosy (on his behalf). This one is very beautiful and interesting. Bring on some more Museum Place!

Lovely item, a present for a daughter who collects them. Well made. Characterful. And it is good because there is meaning attached to fish. Good quality and will be much liked.
