This netsuke of Daikoku's hammer opens to reveal a carving of
Urashima Taro.
Urashima is made of ivory, but the hammer is lacquer, so the netsuke is not
heavy. A person could wear it and be unaware of its contents, as Urashima
was unaware of the contents of his box. The hammer is 1.12" (28mm) across.
