What is netsuke?

A netsuke is a form of miniature sculpture which developed in Japan over a period of more than three hundred years. Netsuke served both functional and aesthetic purposes. The kimono, the traditional form of Japanese dress, had no pockets. Women would tuck small personal items into their sleeves, but men suspended their tobacco pouches, pipes, purses, or writing implements on a silk cord from their obi (kimono sash). These hanging objects are called sagemono. To stop the cord from slipping through the obi, a small toggle was attached. The toggle is called a netsuke. (The most popular pronunciation is "net-ski", while the actual Japanese is closer to "netskeh"). A sliding bead (ojime) was strung on the cord between the netsuke and the sagemono to tighten or loosen the opening of the sagemono.The entire ensemble was then worn, at the waist, and functioned as a sort of removable hip pocket. All three objects (the netsuke, the ojime and the different types of sagemono) were often beautifully decorated with elaborate carving, lacquer work, or inlays of rare and exotic materials, including: wood, precious metals, shell, coral, and semi-precious stones. All three items developed into highly coveted and collectible art forms.

What is boxwood?

Boxwood is used extensively in the landscape development of homes, gardens, and public grounds in Virginia. Since colonial times, it has been an integral part of the landscape, and many historical gardens in the state are noted for their boxwoods. Today, many people who have colonial architecture select this plant because they feel it fits this style best, but boxwood is also being used with modern or contemporary homes.

Boxwood owes its popularity not only to tradition, but also to its many landscape uses. Some of the ways it can be used are:
as plants alone or in combination with other plant material in foundation plantings for homes and public buildings;
to separate, define, enclose, or screen areas;
to provide background for other plantings;
to provide the overall pattern or framework of a formal garden;
for framing vistas;
to outline a terrace, parking area, flower border, or walk;
for planter boxes or large containers;
or as topiary pieces, in lieu of sculptures.

Boxwood can be used in so many ways because of its many and varied forms, such as prostrate, globe, half-erect, weeping, columnar, and pyramidal. In addition, boxwood plants have a wide range in potential size and rate of growth. Low or tall forms and fast or slow growers are available. There are also interesting variations in size of foliage and texture characteristics. The ease with which boxwood can be propagated from cuttings has also contributed to its popularity. However, boxwood is not popular with everyone. In fact, some violently dislike it and refuse to have it on their premises. Those who do not like it may have had difficulties in growing it and have become disillusioned. Others may develop a prejudice against it because they have seen so many examples of its use in poor designs. In almost any community, one can find round, clipped plants resembling basketballs in rows across a front yard. Such unattractive plantings often result when the homeowner has not studied landscape design or fails to get a nurseryman or trained landscape architect to help organize the plant material into a pleasing composition. Poor designs may also result from failure to properly maintain healthy, uniform plants
