Manekineko / Japanese lucky cat / Made in Japan / Mino ware / Seto ware
Manekineko / Japanese lucky cat / Made in Japan / Mino ware / Seto wareThe manekineko is the most famous lucky charm in Japan. We carry manekineko crafted from Seto ware, Tokoname ware, and Kutani ware, traditional ceramics from the three major production areas in Japan. The Seto ware manekineko has a fox-like face. It is slender and has a hunched-over pose, making it resemble a real cat. The Tokoname ware manekineko has wide-open eyes and a round, stumpier body, and it is holding a gold coin. The Kutani ware manekineko has a gorgeous appearance, with its entire body covered in vibrantly colored patterns and gilded with gold.
The manekineko was created at the end of the Edo period in the town of Edo to symbolize the wishes of people for business prosperity and to attract customers. It is one of the unique lucky charms of Japan along with the Daruma doll and Fukusuke. The arms of the manekineko are what makes it stands out. Generally speaking, a manekineko with a raised right arm serves to attract more money, while a manekineko with a raised left arm attracts more people (customers).
