- In the carving of animal subjects, particularly those in ivory, Masanao is supreme among netsuke carvers. He was less successful with human figures. The charm of his netsuke lies in their striking originality of design, bold outlines, free subtle curves, smooth surfaces unmarred by extraneous detail, and spirited character. His animals, though often idealised and even grotesque, never fail in realism. (en)
