THE HARE WITH AMBER EYES by Edmund De Waal

264 Japanese wood and ivory carvings, none of them bigger than a matchbox:  Edmund De Waal was entranced when he first encountered the collections in his great uncle Iggie's Tokyo apartment.  When he later inherited the 'netsuke', they unlocked a story far larger and more dramatic than he could ever have imagined.

From a burgeoning empire in Odessa to fin de siecle in Paris, from occupied Vienna to Tokyo, he traces the netsuke's journey through generations of his remarkable family against the backdrop of a tumultuous century.
