The Hare with Amber Eyes – Edmund de Waal

A spellbinding memoir tracing a family’s history through a collection of tiny Japanese netsuke, spanning continents, generations, and the tides of history.

When acclaimed ceramicist Edmund de Waal inherited a collection of 264 small Japanese carvings—netsuke—he didn’t just receive beautiful objects; he inherited a story. In The Hare with Amber Eyes, de Waal takes readers on a journey through the fortunes of the Ephrussi family, one of Europe’s most prominent Jewish dynasties, from 19th-century Paris and Vienna to the devastation of World War II, and finally to postwar Tokyo.

With exquisite attention to detail and a poet’s eye for storytelling, this memoir blends art history, biography, and travel writing into a meditation on memory, loss, and the objects we carry through time.

This used-good copy is perfect for readers who appreciate history, art, and the deeply human stories hidden in heirlooms.

Key Takeaways:

Discover the Ephrussi family’s remarkable rise and tragic fall

Learn the history and significance of netsuke in Japanese art

Explore the resilience of culture and memory in the face of loss

Experience a blend of art, history, and personal memoir
