caption: The image shows an ivory netsuke of a man with a hat on his head, set against a white background. The netsuke is intricately carved with details such as facial features, clothing, and jewelry. The man is wearing a traditional Japanese outfit, with a kimono and a hat, and is holding a staff in one hand and a book in the other. He has a determined expression on his face, and his eyes are focused on something in the distance.
