Choho Kiln White Flower Mori Kutani Lucky Cat 3.9in

This adorable white lucky cat is painted in the "mori-e" technique, similar to slip trailing, which is a characteristic of Choho Kiln. A thick paint is squeezed out of an "icchin," a dispenser with a fine tip, and patterns are carefully crafted onto the surface. Mori-e adds decorative designs with a tactile texture to smooth porcelain surfaces.

The white backdrop of the Kutani ware cat serves as a luminous canvas, amplifying the vibrant floral patterns and accessories, with the blue hues of the flowers and ribbon particularly capturing attention. 

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, lucky cats have become popular as a charm of good financial fortune. And a lucky cat with its left hand raised is said to "invite people." Also, White lucky cat means "good luck blessing". 

Filled with Japanese tradition and good fortune, this lucky cat is excellent item for your house decor and will bring 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. The third generation Choho continues to preserve traditional techniques and patterns while adopting the modern sense of new designs.
