Netsuke/Ojime "Globe" 根付、緒締め「地球儀」

英語の後に日本語が続きます。

These are a netsuke (left, about 3 cm tall) and an ojime at the Tokyo National Museum. Both are titled 'Globe' and were made by Kinuyo Hariya using mother-of-pearl and gold maki-e.

A netsuke is a small carved ornament, especially of ivory or wood, worn as part of Japanese traditional dress as a toggle by which an article may be attached to the sash of a kimono (source: Lexico), while an ojime is a bead, often decorated, used as a sliding fastening device on the strings of a purse or pouch in Japanese traditional dress (source: Lexico).

Their blue, green, and gold colors are so beautiful that when looking at these matching mini-globes, I get sucked into their world... Have you ever seen such tiny, beautiful globes?🌏
