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.
