Pink Mori Oinori Neko Lucky Cat 4.5 in
This adorable pink lucky cat, or maneki neko, 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 the patterns are carefully painted onto the surface. Mori-e adds a decorative pattern and tactile texture to a smooth porcelain surface.
The intricately designed lines and dots can be felt when held in one’s hand.
This lucky cat, with both paws lifted to its face, mirror the pose of a cat praying, referred to as oinori in Japanese, or asking for attention that is endearing. Real cats occasionally adopt similar postures when seeking their owners’ attention, adding a delightful touch of authenticity.
Filled with Japanese tradition and good fortune, this lucky cat is excellent for your house decor and brings good luck to you and your loved ones.
