描述
全美连的小池理事长曾以私人名义问过一个我长年不想却又无法回避的难题：作为秒杀大英博物馆，横扫维也纳，逼退凡尔赛宫的日本排名第二的根付收藏家本人最喜欢哪件藏品？这个问题恐怕永远没有答案。只能说我今天最喜欢的是这只胆小害羞，楚楚可怜，宛如受气包，乍一看很像小白兔的委屈的大耳朵小白鼠。这是维也纳犹太博物馆送给我的礼物，犹太人曾经就是这样忍气吞声，小心谨慎，诚惶诚恐在欧洲生活近千年，直到二战大屠杀。从此犹太人不再忍耐，冷静残忍疯狂报复所有敌人。
随鼠附札：给我们，犹太人一点糊口的薄利。这句话亦出自琥珀眼睛的野兔第一部第9章，异常沉重的话题，悲剧性仅次于叙述本身。

NETSUKE- The Miniature Sculpture of Japan （大英博物馆藏根付图录）P102(picture No182),By Richard Barker and Lawrence Smith, London,1976
FINE AN IVORY NETSUKE OF A WHITE RAT FROM TOMOKAZU STYLE
LENGTH 3.8cm
Gifu school
19th century, Edo period (1615-1868)
Provenance: European collection.
Notes：There is a small defect on the inside of the right ear that is barely visible to the naked eye.
The netsuke is a toggle. Japanese men used netsuke to suspend various pouches and containers from their sashes by a silk cord. Netsuke had to be small and not too heavy, yet bulky enough to do the job. They needed to be compact with no sharp protruding edges, yet also strong and hardwearing.
Above all they had to have the means of attaching the cord. Although netsuke were made in a variety of forms, the most widely appreciated is the katabori (shape carving). This is a three-dimensional carving, such as this one.
From around 1750, the designs of katabori netsuke became more realistic. This was probably due to the influence of European painting as seen in Dutch works (rangaku), as the Japanese had very little direct contact with Europeans. As a result, craftsmen began to draw from nature and use perspective, light and shade.
They paid great attention to detail, such as animal fur. As a result, carvers in Gifu made a whole group of classic animal netsuke. This rat netsuke is one.
