Katabori Netsuke with Two Skeleton Figures. Culture: Japan, 1701-1900 (Edo- Meiji Period). Material: Wood (boxwood). Collection: Science Museum Group Collection, London. The skeleton motif wasn't a random theme in netsuke art. These figures symbolized mujõ (*## 7), one of the fundamental concepts of Buddhist philosophy, meaning the impermanence of all things. As one of the Three Marks of Existence in Buddhism, mujo comes from the Sanskrit word anitya and means that nothing is permanent. You can think of it as the Japanese counterpart to the Western concept of memento mori.
