2" Boxwood Butterfly Netsuke – Japanese Miniature Sculpture

This 2‑inch boxwood netsuke captures a beautiful butterfly in miniature, hand‑carved with delicate wings and soft curves. With around twenty years of age, the wood has begun to develop a gentle patina, giving the piece warmth and depth that newer carvings can’t quite match.

Display it on a small stand, tuck it among books, or group it with other Japanese netsuke figurines on a tray. The butterfly—often associated with transformation and lightness—adds a graceful, poetic note to any netsuke collection and to refined Asian home decor.
