<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Barry Stephen, post: 4469457, member: 70690&quot;]from memory this was a common design by Masanao (of Ise), just checked and the signature is a possible match. I believe that the Ise area had somewhat of a commune of carvers and that many netsuke are attributed to the &#039;school&#039; rather than the one Masanao carver. I&#039;m sure you can confirm by some searching as its a while since I was into netsuke...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
