Red Furisode Lucky Cat

This lucky cat, or maneki neko in Japanese, is dressed in a red furisode kimono with flowers such as sakura cherry blossoms and chrysanthemums, a gorgeous and traditional pattern. Auspicious and full of traditional skills, this doll is perfect for yourself or as a gift.

Furisode is a kimono with long furi "sleeves," and is worn as the first formal attire for young women at coming-of-age ceremonies, bridal gowns at weddings, and for attendance at weddings.

Kakinuma Ningyo

Kakinuma Ningyo, established in 1950, stands as a beacon of excellence in the realm of Edo Kimekomi dolls, a distinguished form of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. From classic hina dolls and Boys' Day dolls to imaginative modern creations like maneki neko (lucky cats) and daruma, each piece seamlessly blends age-old artistry with a touch of contemporary elegance. With a commitment to innovation while honoring tradition, Kakinuma Ningyo continues to create exceptional works that bridge the past and present in Japanese craftsmanship.

Edo Kimekomi dolls are small wooden dolls made of paulownia wood and dressed in traditional Japanese silk textiles.

Originating in Kyoto, Kimekomi dolls were introduced to Edo (present-day Tokyo), where they developed in their own unique style. These extremely finely crafted figures are beloved as souvenirs rooted in Japanese traditions.
