Perhaps we had better return to discussions about the Katchen collection now.. before we ruffle a few feathers

(Sorry Gobi, I've seen all the birds in New Zealand, all the ones you chaps over there haven't eaten.. that is. )

Although if H.I.H Princess Takamado invites me round, I'm afraid I'll ditch you in an instant... she is afterall the Honorary President of BirdLife International and a very keen birder.

Ah, now we are getting the true behind-the-scenes story of Koln/Cologne, finally!

"Birds of the Mountains and Fields".

There are some glorious warblings outside the windows here in the early mornings. (Except for this morning when there seemed to be a fight between some crows.)

For many years the only way I could survive an INS convention was to spend an inordinate amount of time in the hotel bar.. but these days, since that activity is imposed upon by collectors wanting their dirty netsuke cleaned.. I'm forced to find other escapes.

So it was in Cologne.. luckily for me, a small woodland right next to the hotel had a resident Nightingale which gave me many hours of listening joy and peace... well it did until a homeless man who also occupied that little woodland decide that listening to "his" Nightingale required that I forfeit a few Euro. He as quite insistent or so it seemed as he barked commands at me in German... so I gave him the money but the joy was lost.

So I went up the road and saw another wonderful thing in Cologne.. an island of unused land next to a major road that had been densely seeded with wild flowers... with hundreds of bees and beautiful butterflies taking advantage of the banquet.. it was quite magical.

.. but then it got dark so I went back to the hotel bar.

I'm delighted that you are both happy with the restoration.. it's a real pleasure for me to give these abused netsuke a little love and attention.

I think I must have removed the crap from about a dozen Katchen pieces in total now but I'm unfortunately also receiving some on which an attempt at removing the oil has been made by their owners that has only made their problem worse. Let me therefore take this opportunity to implore folks thinking they might attempt a little DIY restoration to please heed the following advice.

Do not add more oil or wax or any other finishing product to these particular netsuke.
Do not heat the them and do not attempt to wash the oil off with warm soupy water.

PM or email me a picture of the netsuke and I will advise.

Kindest regards,
Clive
