Description
Introducing the Lone Wolf and Cub netsuke, which embodies the beautiful bond between parent and child and the love between them.
As the term "lone wolf" suggests, wolves are often associated with solitude. However, this wolf's gentle expression is reminiscent of a parent. The baby, held in its parent's mouth, curls up and is carried obediently, a behavior known as the "transport response," a cooperative behavior. This gesture seems to represent the caring bond between parent and child. The parent wolf is polished to a smooth finish, with a soft expression characteristic of silver. The back of its face features a knot motif, called "Omoimusubi," representing the unconditional love a parent gives to their child. The child, crafted from brass, is given a crisp, oxidized finish. However, its face evokes a gentle, almost smiling expression, evoking a strong sense of trust in its parent. The parent and child are separate pieces, allowing them to sway independently when swayed, creating a playful design. The jump rings allow it to be added to chains, key chains, jewelry, and hairpins. Netsuke, a symbol of love, also makes a wonderful gift for a special someone.
