Abstract
The features of attribution work with the items from the private collection for the exhibition of the old Japanese sculpture “Netsuke. The private collection” in Primorye State Art Gallery have been considered in the paper. The items from private collections usually are excluded from a scientific circulation but they often are of a great scientific interest for art historians and museum researchers. The author aims to include into a scientific circulation several items of miniature sculpture netsuke which would be of an art history interest and which have never been exhibited before. The process of the items attribution, plot and stylistic features specification has been described on a basis of the expert opinion, comparative analysis with the items from the sufficient museum collections. The author comes to a conclusion that the plots and iconography of some items are rather rare and their description would make a contribution to the Japanese miniature sculpture research.
