Volume 1/Part A is A-M. Volume 2/Part B is N-Z. "The index consists of two volumes with over 5,000 entries that provide detailed information on individual netsuke. Perhaps the most exciting and helpful aspects of the Index are the marvelously accurate drawings of netsuke done by Meinertzhagen. The cards provide a hand drawn facsimile of the artist's signature, accuratley recording the carver's original calligraphy and his kakihan. Historical backgrounds, critical commentaries, notes on various artists, and methods of collecting are inlcuded by meinertzhagen on the cards, along with illustrations of some 100 unsigned netsuke. The books also includes photographs, correspondence, and personal insights by those who knew Minertzhagen, providing a complete and detailed account of his life and work."- Dust jacket.
