The Hare With Amber Eyes

When Edmund de Waal first entered his great uncle Iggie’s Tokyo apartment, nothing could have prepared him for what he found. Laid out before him were 264 wood and ivory carvings, none of them bigger than a matchbox. de Waal inherited this collection of ‘netsuke’ (traditional kimono button fasteners), and the story behind then was far bigger than anything he could have imagined. The Hare with Amber Eyes is the story of one man’s family told through these exquisite objects. This remarkable journey starts with a burgeoning empire in Odessa, to fin de secle Paris, from occupied Vienna and all the way to Tokyo.
