That is utterly charming. But I think you’re taking one-upmanship too far. ‘My favourite netsuke’, indeed. How many of us could claim to know so many we could have a favourite 😉 ?
Oh ! Oh ! Oh ! He’s gorgeous . . . well, I mean the netsuke is gorgeous ! I LOVE monkeys . . . my friends are totally used to my taking their kids and grandkids into my arms saying ‘Come here you little monkeyface’ . . . to me the most loving statement . . .

Awwwww, cute!
Isn’t he!
That’s cute, I can see why it’s your favourite!
I wish i could have him here, with me!
He looks like the start of another adventure 😃
Well put! Thank you!
Marvellous! Such intricate carving….but he does look slightly worried
He does…maybe he is trapped in there…
Oh dear…
Oh, yes, this is magnificent.
