Fukurokuju Netsuke (replica) - a photo on Flickriver

Fukurokuju Netsuke (replica)

This replica Netsuke came from the collection of my late grandmother. The subject is of Fukurokuju, one of the Seven Lucky gods. Luke Harris at Imperfecz Toys is currently selling replicas of this at imperfecz.blogspot.com/

Let me explain more: My grandmother was an avid collector of turtles and turtle-related paraphernalia. We kept her collection intact even when we moved her into the house to take care of her. When she passed away at the venerable age of 95, we split up her collection, mialking turtles to friends and family and loved ones as keepsakes to remember her by. This Turtle was one of the few remaining ones that I took (along with her FIRST turtle), and I noticed the face soon after. I ended up taking a lot of time and energy to research it before son finding out that it is a netsuke, and a replica, and WHAT it is a figure of. Luke Harris, my friend, found it really interesting, and offered to make reproductions to sell to others and spread the joy. So of course I took the opportunity!

I miss ya, Grandma.
