The Raymond and Frances Bushell Collection of Netsuke: A Legacy at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art Frances Bushell Because traditional Japanese clothing had no pockets, people hung small objects such as purses, writing cases, and smoking utensils on braided silk cords tucked under the belt or sash. A netsuke is a small carved bob that holds the upper end of the cord at the top of the belt. Colour photographs, sometimes several each, illustrate 847 pieces.
