Chocolate Chocolate Octopus Netsuke
A netsuke-style chocolate from Katsushika Hokusai (Saber).
They are shaped like the characters found in one of the yomi-hon that Hokusai's daughter Oei (Oui) likely preferred to read, titled "Chinsetsu Yumiharizuki." They are also delicately engraved with images of Toto-sama and members of Chaldea.
