There are six resin netsuke on this site, and in an earlier blog, I said I would explain why I bothered to put them in the catalogue. You can find them by searching for material = 'resin'; they are N052, N053, N054, N055, N056 and N057. We have them in the collection because occasionally they are included in an auction lot with netsuke, ojime or inrô that we really want.
They provide a useful reference for imitation netsuke of varying quality to help distinguish plastic from ivory. Both ivory and bone fluoresce under ultraviolet light, but plastics do not.
