Heres a Netsuke Hare that was given to my mother by a old Japanese woman she used to work for..It was given to her to bring her luck and watch over her..it was passed down to me when i was 18..i recently started doing some research on his signature..

i joined (The International Netsuke society Online and a Japanese Member named CHONCHON

Told me that it is by a carver he has not heard of MitsuKaze ..i know it has some age to it.and even though he lacks one of his glass eyes..i will someday give him to emma.and her her son/daughter..japanese tradition living on in the smallest places...

thouyght it was a cool story heres the hare
