    So this piece has a tiny marking on the back. I initially thought it was a bit of dirt until I put my glasses on. Again this piece is very intricate, but no idea where it's from nor whom it is by.

    Anybody know?

    The piece is only about 4cm long.

    This one is a netsuke rather than an okimono.

    It is very sweet, and it symbolizes fertility in more ways than one, the basket is a Japanese gardening basket:
