This 4 cm ivory sculpture is netsuke "Ladybird on sweet pepper" at Tokyo National Museum. It was carved by Seiho Azuma from ivory. 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).
This netsuke sweet pepper is white, but imagine a green pepper with a red ladybug with black spots on its back! It must be so colorful🌶🐞 and beautiful! If you love netsuke, see this list to see more than 40 netsuke items!
