Pink Mori Lucky Cat

This pink lucky cat, also known as maneki neko, is made using the advanced technique of Kutani ware.

In the past, Japanese farmers who lived with cats were believed to prosper, as the cats kept rats away from their crops. Over time, this association with good fortune gave rise to the lucky cat which is now widely known as a symbol of prosperity and wealth.

This pink beckoning cat is said to bring luck in romance. The color pink has long been associated with love and affection, making it a meaningful charm for matters of the heart.

Rooted in Japanese tradition and good fortune, this lucky cat, a Japanese figurine is a wonderful addition to your home decor and is believed to bring happiness to you and your loved ones.

Choho Kiln

Choho Kiln was founded by Nishi Chosaku, who, together with his brother Taikichi, pioneered the application of mori-e to Kutani ware figurines in the late Taisho period (1912–1926 CE). Originally used on flat surfaces, this raised enamel technique proved exceptionally suited to sculptural works such as maneki neko, lucky cats, and soon became a defining decorative method for Kutani porcelain figures.

Today, the third generation preserves the mori-e tradition while continuing to explore new possibilities within this decorative Kutani ware style.

Kutani Ware

Kutani ware is a pottery produced in the Kaga region of Ishikawa Prefecture, with a history spanning over 350 years. It is characterized by the heavy brilliance of the five colors of navy blue, red, purple, green, and yellow that are applied to the bold and daring lines. Its long history has evolved through the tireless efforts and enthusiasm of people who have sought innovation while maintaining tradition.
