Welcome to the International Netsuke Society
European Chapter
The International Netsuke Society is a non-profit organization that supports the study of netsuke and sagemono, the artists who created them, and the Japanese society from which they evolved. Netsuke and sagemono are small finely crafted Japanese art objects developed starting in the 17th century and continuously thereafter. Treasured today by collectors and art enthusiasts worldwide, netsuke and sagemono are found in leading museums around the world and provide endless opportunity to learn about and appreciate Japanese myth, history, art, and culture.
Journal #67
Spring 2025
Latest Issue of the Euronetsuke Journal
We start 2025 with the Spring issue of Euronetsuke, number #67 – now in our 32nd year as the journal of the European Chapter of the International Netsuke Society.
We are happy to have some words from Chip Lutton, the new president of the INS in this issue. Euronetsuke has grown a lot over the years from its humble origins. It was originally created as a means of communicating and sharing with the vast diaspora of Europe, but now has extended to membership worldwide. We are always part of the larger INS, and through our network are happy to be able to organise events for members in various locations. At the moment we have two events being planned, one in London and one in Belgium… more information on both will be sent to members in due course.
