Netsuke (根付) was attached to the end of a small decorative container called an inro, stopping the weight of the inro from slipping through the waist sash (obi). The cord was passed round the back of the sash, and the netsuke hooked over the edge. Netsuke were often carved from ivory or wood, but there are examples of other material.

Tenaga making a hand-stand.
First, the really interesting figure, I pulled
out after the army in 1993.
Unfortunately, it was stolen.
I recently revisited an old photographic film, and found a very blurred picture
of my figure.
