Choho Kiln Purple Sakura Kutani Lucky Cat

This lucky cat with a Sakura (cherry blossoms) pattern is by Choho Kiln. The pale purple color complements the red-painted Sakura, which seem to float in the twilight, creating a beautiful color scheme.

In the old days, Japanese farmers living with cats were said to prosper without crop damage because cats would drive away rats that damage their crops.
Today, also known as a "beckoning cat," the lucky cat is popular as a charm of good financial fortune.

The purple lucky cat is recommended for those who wish for the health and longevity of themselves and their families. Purple is sometimes used as the theme color for longevity celebrations, and is a color with a noble image.

Filled with Japanese tradition and good fortune, this lucky cat is excellent for your house decor and brings good luck to you and your loved ones.　

Choho Kiln was established at the end of the Taisho era (1912-1926), and has continued to operate as a wholesaler and manufacturer of Kutani Ware.

The kiln is characterized by bold painting and delicate "mori-e", three dimensional decorations, which are created by freely using green, yellow, purple, navy blue, and red color paints, a style called Kutani "gosai (five colors)". 

In recent years, their main products have been interior decorations and ornaments. Choho III continues to preserve traditional techniques and patterns while adopting the modern sense of new designs.
