Netsuke dates primarily from Japan's Edo Period (1603–1868), originating in the 17th century as functional toggles for kimonos, evolving into highly artistic miniature sculptures, with peak popularity until the Meiji Period (1868–1912) when Westernization decreased their need, though carving continued for collectors
. While the art form flourished for centuries, specific pieces can range from the late 17th to the 19th and early 20th centuries, with wear patterns and styles helping to date them
