2" Boxwood Mouse & Turtle Netsuke – Japanese Animal Miniature

This charming 2‑inch netsuke is hand‑carved from boxwood, depicting a mouse and turtle nestled together in a small bowl. The playful composition and expressive detail give it a storybook quality—full of character without feeling overly cute.

It’s a lovely piece to place on a low stand, on top of a stack of books, or within a shallow tray of other Japanese miniatures. The warm wood tone and animal subject make it especially appealing in Japandi and Asian home decor, where small, thoughtful objects invite closer inspection.
