What Is a Netsuke?

A netsuke is a traditional Japanese accessory worn with a kimono.

Originally, netsuke were practical fasteners used to secure small personal items, such as pouches or wallets, by anchoring them over the obi (kimono sash). Today, they are enjoyed as elegant decorative accessories that add beauty and individuality to kimono styling.

To wear it, simply slide the flat netsuke plate behind your obi and allow the charm to hang gracefully from the front.
