Design subject is one mouse on the top of Tawara(rice straw bag) which is very finely carved in the detail. One suprise is there is one hole at the one end of bag, there is white mouse peeking out from Tawara. To bring out the white mouse or to make disappearing mouse by littel shape Netsu which white mouse will desappear. The white mouse is made from ivory or bone.
