The two netsuke below are both titled 'Gourd.' The first is a boxwood netsuke carved by Kuya Nakamura, and the second is ivory, carved by Ichiro.
The tiny, dark brown things on the white plate in the third photo are sliced gourd narazuke (pickles) sold at Imanishi Honten. They're only 3cm long, but they still look exactly like mini gourds!
