This is a special illustrated edition of Edmund de Waal’s stunning memoir, now filled with new photography and full-colour images hand-picked by de Waal from his family archive.

264 Japanese wood and ivory carvings, none of them bigger than a matchbox: Edmund de Waal was entranced when he first encountered the collection in his great-uncle Iggie's Tokyo apartment. When he later inherited the 'netsuke', they unlocked a story far larger and more dramatic than he could ever have imagined. From a burgeoning empire in Odessa to end of the century Paris, then from occupied Vienna to post-war Tokyo, de Waal traces the netsuke's journey through generations of his remarkable family against the backdrop of a tumultuous century.

This beautiful edition is recommended to readers who have already read the original edition, and especially to those lucky enough to be diving into de Waal’s world for the first time.
