Choho Kiln Purple Sakura Oinori Neko Kutani Lucky Cat

This lucky cat by Choho Kiln has a cute pose with a red cherry blossom pattern on a pale purple base.

Purple is considered a noble color and the color of honor luck. Purple lucky cats are said to bring longevity, success, etc.

This Lucky Cat is part of a new series called "Oinori Neko" made of Kutani Ware. In Japanese, "Oinori" means "to pray" and "Neko" means "cats".

The pose with both hands in front of the face seems to be asking for something, which is a very lovely gesture. Is it the owner's happiness that it is praying for?

In fact, cats sometimes make gestures like this pose. They often make appeals to their owners, such as asking for attention or play.

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.
