Since Chugtai Toen's establishment in 1952, they have continued to specialize in crafting ceramic objects using manufacturing techniques developed in the Meiji period (1868 – 1912) to produce Seto Novelty porcelain figurines.
In collaboration with BEAMS Japan, they have created a large Ceramic Fortune Cat.
- The cat hopes to help you attract customers, patrons, and welcoming people into your space.
- A distinct style of this Seto Maneki-Neko is its slender form, resembling a real cat known as the "old style".
- The Seto Maneki-Neko, characterized by its hunched posture, is created by combining high quality clay of Seto with the plaster mold technique that was introduced to Europe during the Meiji era.
- Each cat is hand crafted by skilled artisans, from casting to painting. These are not mass produced. What Chugtai Toen values most is the heartfelt care put into each piece.
The Good Fortune cats figures have been cherished as lucky charms that bring happiness, and we hope you will treat them with the same affection as you would a real cat.
- Made from ceramic.
- Made in Japan.
