Kokuzou Kiln's lucky cat with a "Mizuhiki" motif and red collar. Kanazawa, the birthplace of Kutani ware, is known for its unique and rare traditional craft called "Kaga Mizuhiki".

The lucky cat with its left hand raised is said to be beneficial for inviting people in, or in other words, for business prosperity.

White lucky cat means "good luck blessing". The color is easy to fit into any interior and can be widely used.

"Mizuhiki" are decorative strings attached to gifts and envelopes. Depending on the way it is tied and its color, there are different meanings implied and different occasions when it should be used. In recent years, Mizuhiki has also gained recognition for its high design quality and is used as a Japanese-style decorative item for hair ornaments and other small items.

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, the lucky cat is popular as a charm of good financial fortune.
