Yellow Flower Lucky Cat with Sea Bream
This is a yellow lucky cat, known as maneki neko in Japanese, with a floral design, holding a sea bream in one hand.
The pattern is painted using the mori-e technique, similar to slip trailing. A thick paint is squeezed out of an icchin, a dispenser with a fine tip, and carefully applied to create raised patterns. Mori-e adds both visual detail and a tactile texture to the smooth porcelain surface.
Yellow is considered a color of good fortune. It is said that a cat with its right paw raised invites prosperity and luck.
Sea bream has long been valued as a symbol of celebration and good fortune, making it a fitting companion for this lucky cat.
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 charm for financial success.
Rooted in Japanese tradition and good fortune, this lucky cat is a wonderful addition to your home decor and is believed to bring happiness to you and your loved ones.
