The largest number of ceramic mask netsuke are Onko ware. These netsuke are unglazed. The preparation of the clay and the way they were fired in the kiln created a unique texture that is very impressive. These masks were produced during the late 19th and early 20th century and are known for their robustness. The prominent signatures (or seals) are Sekisen (father and son) and Sekiho. Others such as Onko, Futaminoura, and Shinryoen are rarer. Some of the works are unmarked.
