Features

Employing the shirochibu and aochibu techniques, this maneki neko features the delicate placement of white and blue dots forming intricate swirl patterns that gracefully adorn the surface. The intentional red space surrounding the pattern allows the design to emerge starkly against the red, drawing the viewer's attention to the precision and vibrancy of each dot. This design choice highlights the meticulous craftsmanship and creative vision behind this art piece, inviting admiration and contemplation.

The red maneki neko holds the meaning of warding off illness, evil, and misfortune. Influenced by China, maneki neko became popular in Japan starting from the Edo period (1603 CE–1868 CE). In Japan, it was believed that the fiery red hue possessed the power to ward off malevolent spirits, offering protection and ensuring a life of good health and well-being. The delicate strokes that depict the elegant grape pattern and the textured surface make the maneki neko not only exquisite but also more lively and charming.
