Due to the success of my other smaller Japanese boxwood Netsuke, I have been inundated with requests for larger ones, these are of the highest quality, painstakingly carved by craftsmen, they are all unique pieces, no two are identical, and are all signed by the craftsmen who carved them, AND HAVE TWO HOLES FOR THE CORD , I am based in the UK , so you know that when you order, I will usually ship them to you same day, so you will receive them the very next day, also you wont be liable for import taxes. As these are fairly large,they cannot be sent by large letter, they will be sent to you in a box , postage will be a standard £2.70, no matter how many you buy, all one postage charge, I always only charge what the Royal Mail charges me.
