Floral Wish Upon a Star Lucky Cat

This is a unique lucky cat, also known as maneki neko, crafted with exceptional skill and traditional techniques. The doll features fabric adorned with intricate patterns, showcasing a harmonious blend of colors and delicate designs inspired by traditional motifs. Its clear eyes and hands gently clasped in front of its chest create the impression of a serene figure, as if it were making a heartfelt wish upon a star in the night sky.

With a rounded form, it is made even more adorable and charming by incorporating chirimen fabric which is also used for kimonos. It is characterized by small wrinkles called shibo. 

You can coordinate it with various interior items in your home. Displaying multiple types of lucky cats, or collecting them in different colors, creates an eye-catching and charming arrangement.
