3- What is a netsuke?

a) of Chinese origins
Like the vast majority of Japanese cultural objects, the netsuke has its origins in ancient China, where we find the "钮扣" (pronounced "niǔkòu"), which literally translates to "button" or "fastener".

These devices were used to attach items to clothing. Although Japanese Netsuke is distinct from this Chinese tradition, it is plausible that early ideas of attaching objects to clothing were inspired by similar practices in ancient China.

B) Netsuke in Japan
The kimono, a traditional Japanese garment, without pockets to carry small objects such as purses, medicine boxes (Inro), requires a practical solution. Women hide them in the sleeves, men hang them on a rope passed behind their belt (Obi).

These hanging accessories are called Sagemono.

To prevent any fall, they are attached to a stopper, the Netsuke, firmly placed above the belt.

The term Netsuke, in Japanese (根付), combines the ideas of "root" and "attached", thus suggesting humble origins, perhaps simple pieces of wood. Only sculptures with one or two holes (Himotoshi) can claim the title of Netsuke, allowing their attachment to the Sagemono.

4- What is the vermilion phoenix in the feng-shui tradition?
In the feng shui tradition, the Vermilion Phoenix, also known as Fenghuang, is a mythical and sacred creature that represents fire and rebirth.

Unlike the Western Phoenix, which symbolizes resurrection and purification by fire, Fenghuang embodies peace, harmony, luck, and prosperity.
It is often associated with the Empress and is considered equal to the Dragon, which symbolizes male and water. The Vermilion Phoenix is ​​often represented in feng shui practices to bring positive energy and balance natural forces.

In the South, where the sun shines brightly and the heat is palpable, soars the Vermilion Phoenix. A symbol of rebirth and transformation, this fiery bird spreads passion, creativity and success. Its flamboyant wings set hearts ablaze and breathe vibrant renewal into those who let themselves be guided by its light.
