Here's a wonderful collection of Netsuke's that inspired the book I just read called "The Hare with Amber Eyes".

The de Waal collection is very nice.
Here is one from one of my favorite artists, Morita Soko. It is probably not much more that 1.5 inches long, carved from a single piece of Boxwood.

BTW in Japanese, singular and plural are the same, so it's netsuke whether you're talking about one or more.

Also, this may be informative:

That bundle of kindling is astounding. I'll definitely make a note to look for more of Mr. Soko's work. Very inspiring piece.
